3. The total Scottish Government funding that has been given to applicants through the Tenant Hardship Loan Fund - We do not yet have this data.

This is a formal notice under section 17(1) of FOISA that the Scottish Government does not have the information outlined above that you have requested. The Tenant Hardship Loan Fund opened on 7 December 2020.

As of 9 December 86 applications to the loan fund have been submitted. These will be processed in due course, thus there is not yet any successful applications. No total amount awarded or average amount of funding can therefore be provided.
