Responded Wed 14 January 2026

I am submitting a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to gather information regarding the number of individuals and families classified as homeless and placed in “temporary accommodation” throughout the year.  

1.  Monthly Homelessness Data in Temporary Accommodation   

2. Monthly Counts of Individuals and Households in Temporary Accommodation:    

For each month in the past five years (November 2021- November 2025), please provide the total number of individuals and households recorded as homeless and residing in “temporary accommodation.”    

Include a breakdown of the types of accommodation provided (e.g., hotels, B&Bs, hostels, caravans, shelters).    

Please categorise those in temporary accommodation as follows:    -Single parents with children, identifying mothers and fathers separately if possible.    -Individuals without children.    -Family units, classified by family size (e.g., mother, father, and one child; mother, father, and two children, etc.).    

Could you please provide the data in an electronic format (e.g., Excel, PDF) wherever possible to aid in analysis.
