- gov.scotAdditional notes:The Scottish Government records temporary accommodation placements (HL3 data collection) and the number of children associated with households making homelessness applications (HL1 data collection). HL1 and HL3 household records have been linked to provide an estimate of the number of children in temporary accommodation placements.Please note that it is not necessarily the case that all household members within a homelessness application will enter associated temporary accommodation placement(s). For example, alternative arrangements may be made for children, so they are never present in the temporary accommodation.Total duration is calculated by adding together the durations of individual temporary accommodation placements associated with the same homelessness application.It is possible for children to have multiple homelessness applications.Disclosure control has been applied to protect the identity of individuals.
