Local authorities are spending over five times more on
housing homeless people in B&Bs than they were a decade ago, research by
the Local Government Association (LGA) has found. Official figures show that
councils in England spent £142m placing homeless households in B&Bs in
2019/20, up 430% from £26.7m in 2010/11. There are currently 10,510 households
living in B&Bs, according to provisional data, compared to 2,310 a decade
ago, marking a 355% increase. The LGA said these figures underline “the
desperate need to build more social housing”. Read more on Inside Housing.
