One in 200 UK Households Experiencing Homelessness as the Country Faces Crisis
Published: 01/05/2025
The UK is undoubtedly facing a homelessness crisis, with the latest government data from 2023-2024 showing an 8% increase in the number of households facing homelessness from the previous year, and a 15.4% increase from the year before.
In England alone, official statistics show that 358,370 households contacted their local authority for support after losing their homes or being threatened with homelessness in 2023-2024, a 10% increase from the year before. Of this number, 324,990 households were assessed as homeless. With a total of 123,100 households living in temporary accommodation in June 2024 (up 16.3% from 2023), the country is facing an unprecedented housing crisis.

The staggering increase in homeless households comes as a result of social and economic factors, which are making securing or staying in a property increasingly difficult for many.
