More than a quarter of a million people are homeless in
England, an analysis of the latest official figures suggests. Researchers from
charity Shelter used data from four sets of official 2016 statistics to compile
what it describes as a "conservative" total. The figures show
homelessness hotspots outside London, with high rates in Birmingham, Brighton
and Luton. The government says it does not recognise the figures, but is
investing more than £500m on homelessness. For the very first time, Shelter has
totted up the official statistics from four different forms of recorded
homelessness. Download the report from
the Shelter website.
