The U.S. Department of the Treasury through Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Fund provided a critical source of relief for smaller local governments, many of which have not received direct fiscal assistance from the federal government since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Non-entitlement units of local government (NEUs) are cities serving populations less than 50,000. The State of Iowa is responsible for distributing these funds to NEUs within Iowa. Award amounts are based on the population of the NEU. Distributions from the Local Fiscal Recovery Fund to state, then subsequently NEUs are being done in two tranches.

This indicator reports the percentage of local authorities who have begun to identify and work with troubled families in their area as part of DCLG's programme.

How the figure is calculated:

The figure is the number of all troubled families that have been identified by upper tier local authorities to date given as a percentage of all families that authorities pledged to turn around (as indicated in the published data - see link below).

Why is this indicator in the business plan?

The indicator is a measure of the progress being made by local authorities at this early stage of the Troubled Families Programme. Identifying the real names and addresses and all the various family members of families that are right for this programme is not always easy as we have targeted families for the first time whose range of problems will often cut across education, crime, worklessness and other issues. This involves lots of different local agencies sharing information and making an assessment about whether families they're individually working with are the right ones for this programme.

How often is it updated?

Data is updated quarterly.

Where does the data come from?

Self-declarations by local authorities, which are provided to the DCLG Troubled Families Team.

What area does the headline figure cover?

England

What does a change in this indicator show?

The structure of Local Authorities varies across England/Scotland/Wales and Northern Ireland and also in different areas of England. Following major re-organisation in 1995 Wales and Scotland merged all their District and County Councils creating a single Authority for each area; these are known as Unitary Authorities and provide all Council functions. In England, although some reorganisation took place, there continued to be a mixture of 'single tier' authorities - Unitary / Metropolitan / London Boroughs. With the rest of the Country covered by 'Two Tier' authorities - English Country Councils and District Councils; where functions are divided between the two authority types. Further re-organisation took place in 2007 with a number of County and District Councils being replaced with single Unitary Councils.

Total number of housing starts (seasonally adjusted)

How often is it updated?

Where does the data come from?

P2 quarterly house building returns by local authority building control departments; monthly information from the National House Building Council (NHBC) on the volume of building control inspections; and a quarterly survey of private building control companies. Published figures are at https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-communities-and-local-government/series/house-building-statistics.

What area does the headline figure cover?

England

Are further breakdowns of the data available?

Yes, can be split by local authority area and by tenure

What does a change in this indicator show?

An increase in this indicator is good and shows more new houses are being started.

Time Lag

Figures are published within two months of the end of the reporting period.

Next available update

May 2015.

Type of Data

National Statistics.

Robustness and data limitations

The P2 figures from local authorities and figures from private building control companies include imputation for a small number of missing returns.

Seasonal factors for the house building time series are re-calculated annually back to 2000. This is usually done in the second quarter of the calendar year. Therefore the seasonally adjusted house building figures throughout the whole period change slightly at that time but are not marked as 'revised'.
