Latest figures from the CLG show that 78,180 households
were living in temporary accommodation on 30 June 2017 (these households
included 120,170 children or expected children). This is up 7% on a year
earlier, and up 63% on the low of 48,010 at 31 December 2010. Between 1 April and 30 June 2017 local
authorities accepted 14,400 households as being statutorily homeless - i.e.
households owed a statutory duty to secure accommodation as a result of being
unintentionally homeless and deemed to be in priority need. This was down by 1%
on the previous quarter and down 5% on the same quarter last year. Local
authorities also took action to prevent and relieve some 54,270 households
between 1 April and 30 June 2017. Read more on the ARCH website.
