Use of temporary accommodation is “rising remorselessly”
despite a fall in homelessness acceptances, according to the 2020 UK Housing
Review. The review reports the total again rose by 5% year-on-year to top
more than 86,000 last June – 79% above its low point eight years ago. London
continues to account for two-thirds of the total number of placements at any
one point in time – 57,000 as of June last year. Related spending by councils
is also growing quickly, totalling almost £1.1bn to March last year – a 78% in
just five years. Read the Review on the CIH website.
