Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask His Majesty's Government what recent steps they have taken to improve the quality of data-gathering on the number of veterans who are (1) homeless, or (2) at risk of homelessness.

Data on households who are homeless or at risk of homelessness for England are collected on a quarterly basis and show levels of veteran homelessness are low.

All data returns via the Homelessness Case Level Information Collection submitted by local authorities are validated and cross checked and late returns are chased to ensure overall response is as complete and accurate as possible. The department works closely with local authorities each quarter to review the quality of submitted data to drive continued improvements.
