According to the statistics and the empirical survey, around 439,500 people were housed in the emergency housing assistance system as of the end of January.
The statistics also revealed more than half of those without a permanent shelter had experienced violence since becoming homeless.
The Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development and Building explained the almost 100% increase in homelessness was down to underreporting in the previous paper.
Minister Klara Geywitz stated that 'homelessness takes different forms and has different causes and is by no means a problem limited to urban areas.'
