Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, how many rough sleepers have refused accommodation offered in each of the last five years.
We collect and publish data on a quarterly basis on the number of people sleeping rough on a single night who have refused accommodation, as part of the quarterly publication of management information about the support for people sleeping rough. The information is available here: Homelessness statistics - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
