Of all the households the council houses in temporary accommodation, this is the fraction placed in the council's or housing associations' own properties — proper self-contained homes the council already controls, usually the cheapest and most stable option. A high share means the council can absorb homeless families into its own stock; a low share means it must buy space from B&Bs and private landlords at much higher cost.

Share of TA met from the council's own or housing-association stock — a proxy for cheap, stable supply. Higher shares generally mean lower unit costs and better placement quality. Structurally constrained for councils that transferred their stock, so compare within similar stock-holding groups.
