Statistics on homelessness and homeless families

This dataset shows the number of persons who have approached Birmingham City Council and presented as homeless or threatened with homelessness. Data is broken down by year and ethnicity.In England, local authorities have a statutory duty to prevent homelessness under the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017. This duty requires them to take reasonable steps to help individuals who are threatened with homelessness within 56 days to secure that accommodation does not cease to be available for their occupation. Small number suppression has been applied to those detailed ethnicities which are less than 10. All those individuals will be listed as a group called Data disclosure protection.

The data was extracted into a CSV file from the Homelessness Services Resource Directory which can be found here. Homelessness is a broader issue as it encompasses lots of factors ranging from accommodation needs of an individual, health issues, money and legal advice, employment and so on. These issues are all addressed in a holistic and integrated way to prevent homelessness occurring. Everyone has a right to access health services that meet their needs and the dataset included here explores various services for homeless people. This consists of GPs, Homeless Families Healthcare service, Podiatry, Dietician, Occupational Therapy, Dentists (NHS) and Addiction Services. The fields in the dataset include contact details - office address, email, telephone number, fax, opening hours and additional information on services offered.

The following dataset provides statistics on the quarterly P1E return. Each local housing authority is required to consider housing needs within its area, including the needs of homeless households, to whom local authorities hava a statutory duty to provide assistance. The purpose of the quarterly P1E form is to collect data from English local housing authorities on their responsibilities under homelessness legislation. Further information on P1E forms can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/homelessness-data-notes-and-definitions Please note Sections with the symbol # are sections not required to be completed.

Annual Experimental Statistics on the number of deaths of homeless people in England and Wales at local authority level. Deaths registered in 2013 to 2017.

The term "Homelessness" is often considered to apply only to people "sleeping rough". However, most of our statistics on homelessness relate to the statutorily homeless i.e. those households which meet specific criteria of priority need set out in legislation, and to whom a homelessness duty has been accepted by a local authority.

Such households are rarely homeless in the literal sense of being without a roof over their heads, but are more likely to be threatened with the loss of, or are unable to continue with, their current accommodation.

A "main homelessness duty" is owed where the authority is satisfied that the applicant is eligible for assistance, unintentionally homeless and falls within a specified priority need group. Such statutorily homeless households are referred to as "acceptances".

This dataset provides statistics on the numbers of households accepted as statutorily homeless and presented in terms of acceptances per 1000 households in each local authority area. The total number of acceptances is broken down further according to ethnicity in the related dataset, Homelessness Acceptances.

The numbers are presented in terms of households, not individuals. A household is defined as: one person living alone, or a group of people living at the same address who share common housekeeping or a living room.

Values of less than five households have been suppressed. In addition, some values of five or greater have been suppressed to prevent other suppressed values being calculated

This data is also available in Table 784a, available for download as an Excel spreadsheet.

Local authorities' action under the homelessness provisions of the 1985 & 1996 Housing Acts, by district. This includes statistics on: Households accepted as being homeless and in prioirty need, by ethnicity. Total decisions made by local housing authorities where the household has been found to be eligible for assistance. Households found to be eligible and in priority need but intentionally homeless Households found to be eligible but not in priority need Households found to be eligible but not homeless Households in temporary accommodation on the last day of the financial year by type of accommodation. Households accepted as being owed a main homelessness duty and for whom arrangements have been made for them, with consent, to remain in their existing accommodation (or to make their own arrangements) for the immediate future. Previously referred to as 'Homeless at Home'.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner. A comparative study of the causes of new episodes of homelessness among people aged 50 or more years was undertaken in Boston, Massachusetts (USA), Melbourne, Australia, and four English cities. The aims were to make a substantial contribution to the predominantly American debate on the causes of homelessness, and to make practice recommendations for the improvement of prevention. The study had several objectives. It aimed to collect information about the antecedents, triggers and risk factors for becoming homeless in later life and about the national and local policy and service contexts. Furthermore, the researchers aimed to analyse and interpret the findings with reference to an integrated model of the causes of homelessness that represented structural and policy factors, including housing, health and social service organisation and delivery factors, and personal circumstances, events, problems and dysfunctions. The aim was to do this collaboratively, by drawing on the project partners' experience and knowledge. Finally, it was hoped to develop recommendations for housing, primary health care and social welfare organisations for the prevention of homelessness. This was to be done by identifying the common sequences and interactions of events that precede homelessness and their markers (or 'early warning' indicators) and by holding workshops in England with practitioners and their representative organisations on new ways of working. By the study of contrasting welfare and philanthropic regimes in a relatively homogeneous category of homeless incidence (i.e. recent cases among late middle-aged and older people), it was hoped that valuable insights into the relative contributions of the policy, service and personal factors would be obtained. The study focused on older people who had recently become homeless, purposely to gather detailed and reliable information about the prior and contextual circumstances. To have included people who had been homeless for several years would have reduced the quality of the data because of 'recall' problems. Users should note that data from the Australian sample for the study are not included in this dataset. Main Topics: The data file includes information about the English respondents and those from Boston. It was compiled in two stages. The first stage involved each project partner entering the pre-coded responses into the file. All partners then identified themes and created codes for the open-ended responses, and the resulting variables were added. Data quality-control procedures included blind checks of the data coding and keying. The first 200 variables pertain to information collected from the respondents. They comprise descriptive variables of the circumstances prior to homelessness, including housing tenure during the three years prior to the survey, previous homelessness, employment history, income, health and addiction problems, and contacts with family, friends and formal services. The respondents were asked to rate whether specific factors were implicated in becoming homeless, and where appropriate, a following open-ended question sought elaboration. The remaining variables comprise information collected from the respondents' 'key workers' about their understanding of the events and states that led to their clients becoming homeless. No sampling frame was available. The sample profiles have been compared with those of all homeless people (not just the recently homeless) in the study locations, most effectively in London and Boston. No gross biases were revealed. The samples represent a large percentage of the clients who presented to the collaborating organisations during the study period and who gave their informed consent to participate. Agreed definitions of homelessness were: sleeping on the streets or in temporary accommodation such as shelters; being without accommodation following eviction or discharge from prison or hospital; living temporarily with relatives or friends because the person has no accommodation, but only if the stay had not exceeded six months, and the person did not pay rent and was required to leave. People who had been previously homeless were included in the survey if they had been housed for at least 12 months prior to the current episode of homelessness. Face-to-face interview Self-completion the 'key workers' (case managers) completed questionnaires about their assessments of the respondents’ problems and of the events and states that led to homelessness. Further clarifications and checks were made by telephone.
