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

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the case for establishing a youth homelessness dashboard; and what plans they have to improve data collection on this issue.

The quarterly and annual accredited homelessness statistics remain our official and most robust measure of how many young people are owed a homelessness duty.

Our homelessness statistics includes data for young people by age 16-17 and 18-24. The most recent figures for April – June 2024 are available here: Detailed_LA_202406_fix.xlsx within tab A6, and the figures for April 2023 – 31 March 2024 are available here: Detailed_LA_20232024.xlsx within tab A6.
