"'For many it will be their second or even third year opening their presents in emergency accommodation'"
"More than 16,700 people were living in emergency accommodation last month, bringing homeless figures to another record high."
"Latest figures show 16,755 people accessed emergency accommodation in October, including 5,274 children."
A record number of people relied on emergency accommodation in October, with 16,755 people accessing services and more than 16,700 living in emergency accommodation that month. Among those, 5,274 were children. Many families and individuals are experiencing prolonged displacement, with some facing a second or third consecutive year spending holidays and milestones in temporary housing. The scale of people in emergency accommodation represents another peak in homelessness figures and underscores persistent demand for secure, long-term housing solutions for adults and children alike.
