Levels of homelessness households in temporary accommodation Source: Communities and Local Government (CLG) Publisher: Neighbourhood Statistics Geographies: Local Authority District (LAD), Government Office Region (GOR), National Geographic coverage: England Time coverage: 2000/01 to 2008/09 Notes: The dataset includes the total number of homeless acceptances, homeless acceptances as a proportion (%) of total households on the LA's Housing Register, counts of homeless households in temporary accommodation, counts of homeless households in bed and breakfast accommodation, homeless households in bed and breakfast accommodation as a proportion (%) of the total number of homeless households in temporary accommodation, the mean length of stay in bed and breakfast accommodation, and counts of LA dwellings let to homeless households in priority need. The denominators used to calculate the 'Homeless acceptances as a percentage of the total households on the Housing Register' and the 'Percentage of total LA dwellings let to households in priority need' variables are taken from the relevant year of the 'Social Rented Housing: Demand and Supply' datasets which are also available on the Neighbourhood Statistics website.

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.

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.

People identified as homeless by ethnic group, national identity, religion, main language, and English language proficiency.

This dataset contains the numbers of households accommodated by local authorities, broken down by local authority and temporary accommodation type.

This dataset provides statistics on households in temporary accommodation (excluding those for whom a duty is owed, but no accommodation has been secured) on the last day of the quarter, as arranged by a local housing authority as a discharge of their statutory homelessness functions.

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.

People identified as homeless by highest qualification and labour market variables.

This data outlines the number of families with children living in bed and breakfast accommodation, at the end of each quarter (3 months) between 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2015, across England.

The data is provided by CLG as part of its set of live tables on homelessness (table 793 specifically).

This dataset contains the numbers of households accepted as homeless and in priority need, broken down by local authority and by ethnicity.

Statistics about homelessness for every local authority in England. This includes annual data covering 2009-10 to 2017-18 based on CLG live table 784, known as the P1E returns. There are also quarterly returns (live table 784a) which cover April to June; July to September, September to December and January to March, since April 2013 available on the CLG webpage (see links) Both are provided in excel and csv format. These data help us compare trends across the country for the decisions local authorities make when people apply to them as homeless and each district's use of temporary accommodation.

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.

Decisions on whether a household is homeless and in priority need.

The term "Homelessness" is often considered to apply only to people "sleeping rough".

All households that apply for assistance under the Housing and Homelessness Acts are referred to as "decisions". However, these do not include households found to be ineligible for assistance (some persons from abroad are ineligible for assistance).

This dataset provides statistics on the numbers of decisions made on applications for assistance. The data is broken down by local authority and according to the outcome of the decision: either rejected, together with reason for rejection, or accepted.

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
