Homelessness among people with mental and physical health
problems has increased by around 75% since the Conservatives came to power in
2010, and there has been a similar rise in the number of families with
dependent children who are classed as homeless. According to official figures
collated by the CLG, the number of homeless households in England identified by
councils as priority cases because they contain someone who is classed as
vulnerable because of their mental illness, has risen from 3,200 in 2010 to
5,470 this year. Over the same period, the number of families with dependent
children – another priority homeless group identified by councils – has
increased from 22,950 to 40,130. Download the figures from the CLG website.
