MHCLG has released the latest statutory homelessness
statistics, covering the period from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021. The
statistics capture data on everyone who has been assessed under the Homelessness
Reduction Act. Whilst the Homelessness Reduction Act significantly expanded the
number of people eligible for homelessness support from their local authority,
the statutory statistics still only capture those who access support from
Housing Options services. This data helps explain the wider trends, but not
those not engaging with support, people experiencing more hidden forms of
homelessness or those not entitled to support because of immigration
restrictions. According to the latest statistics, 268,560 households were at
risk of or experienced homelessness from 2020-21. Read more on the Homeless
Link website.
