My Department publishes quarterly statistics on statutory homelessness and homelessness prevention and relief in England and an annual rough sleeping count. These are published at a local authority level. The detailed local authority level response tables in section 1 includes '65-74 years' and '75 & over' age brackets for the applicant of homeless households.

The latest statistics can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-homelessness.
