Families and disabled people have been disproportionately
hit by increasing homelessness. John Healey, the shadow housing minister, said
that while homelessness generally had gone up 41% since 2010, people who might
expect extra care from the government were doing even worse. Healey based his
claim on figures from the CLG showing that from 2010 to 2016 the overall number
of households accepted as being homeless by local authorities in England went
up from 42,390 to almost 60,000. But the increase was disproportionately high
for homeless households classed as vulnerable through mental illness, where
homelessness went up 53%, and for those classed as vulnerable through physical
disability, where it rose 49%. Read more on the Guardian website.
