answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/04/2024 answer text <p>Data on accommodation outcomes on the first night of release from custody is published in the Community Performance Annual Statistics. Data is only available from 2017/18 onwards. From this point, accommodation performance metrics were introduced to the probation performance framework with reliable data not available for previous years. The data can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/prison-and-probation-trusts-performance-statistics#community-performance-statistics" target="_blank">Prison and Probation Performance Statistics - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)</a>.</p><p> </p><p>We are delivering our ground-breaking transitional accommodation service, known as Community Accommodation Service – Tier 3 (CAS-3), so prison-leavers have a guaranteed 12 weeks of basic, temporary accommodation to provide a stable base on release. By January 2023, the proportion of offenders housed on the first night of their release from custody was 7.6 percentage points higher in CAS3 regions versus non-CAS3 regions.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 22/04/2024 16:02:57 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
