General description

This monthly management data collection relates to the number of individuals experiencing homelessness and being supported by local authorities into temporary accommodation.

Temporary accommodation is defined as suitable accommodation that is likely to last for under 6 months, including short-term supported accommodation.

An occurrence of a person being placed into temporary accommodation does not include transfers between different temporary accommodations.

Rounding applied

Disclosure control has been applied to the data. All figures less than 3 have been supressed and shown as a ‘*’. All other figures are rounded independently to the nearest 3. As a result, there may be a difference between the sum of the constituent items and the total.

Revisions information

Data prior to the last period covered have been revised since previously published. Revisions are marked in the data with an (r).
