Record highs of homeless children and rough sleepers
Derby Telegraph
|February 27, 2026
A RECORD high number of people sleeping on England’s streets has been branded “devastating” as new data also showed record levels of homelessness among children.
-
There were 4,793 people estimated to be sleeping rough on a single night in autumn last year, according to the Government's annual snapshot of the situation across the country.
The number is up 3% on the 2024 snapshot (4,667) and is above the previous peak of 4,751 in 2017.
Households and children living in temporary accommodation - a form of homelessness - also hit new record highs, according to other data published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government on Thursday.
A total of 134,760 households were in temporary accommodation at the end of September 2025, up 7% from the same point the previous year.
