Privateers 'cashing in' as councils spend more on homelessness
Yorkshire Evening Post
|October 07, 2025
Councils across Yorkshire and the Humber spent significantly more on temporary homeless accommodation last year, new figures show.
-
Homeless charity Shelter warned private providers are “cashing in” on the housing crisis by charging “eye-watering sums” for rooms.
Figures from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government show councils across Yorkshire and the Humber recorded about £45m in net spending - which is the difference between the total outgoings and income - towards temporary accommodation for the year to March.
It was a 37 per cent increase from the £32.9m nett spending in 2023-24, not adjusted for inflation.
