Councillor Alec Clark said that the situation is having an impact on South Ayrshire's 'loyal tenants' who cannot get new housing.
More than half of the 778 South Ayrshire council houses let in 2022/23 were given to homeless households.
In a report to South Ayrshire Council’s cabinet on Tuesday, the service lead for housing, Michael Alexander, said: “There continues to be sustained pressure on available temporary accommodation. In the first three month of the current financial year 2023/24, there have been 257 homeless applications to the council, with the homeless service dealing with 466 open cases as of June. During that time 96 of the 205 houses let were made to homeless households – just under 47 per cent.
“I don’t know if that’s a possibility. We would still be carrying out the legislation but it would also give our loyal tenants the chance to perhaps improve their quality of life.”
