Homeless Families
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many homeless households with children in London were housed in bed and breakfast accommodation in each month since January 2010; and in each case how many had been living in bed and breakfast accommodation for more than six weeks at the start of each month.[HL3459]
- Answer
-
The available information has been placed in the Library. The department collects information on statutory homelessness from local authorities once a quarter and so monthly figures are not available. Some of the information requested is not held.
More broadly, I would note that the number of homelessness acceptances in London in 2011 (48,510 households) were half the level they were in 2005 (100,170 households) and in 2001 (117,830 households).
