Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many people live in temporary accommodation in each region.

The Government recognises that homelessness levels are far too high. Local authorities report the numbers of households in temporary accommodation and this data is published each quarter as part of the Homelessness Case Level Collection (H-CLIC). The most recent figures for January-March 2024, including regional breakdowns, are available here (see tab TA1): Statutory homelessness in England: January to March 2024 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
