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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, how many veterans are residing in temporary accommodation.

Our veterans have played a vital role in keeping our country safe. The Government is committed to ensuring that they are provided with the support they need. Homelessness statistics for England are collected on a quarterly basis and show levels of veteran homelessness are low. During the period January to March 2022, 510 households owed a homelessness duty included a member with a support need due to service in the Armed Forces, less than 1% of households owed a homelessness duty.

Data for temporary accommodation in England does not provide information on the number of households that include a member with a support need due to service in the Armed Forces.
