Homelessness is rising across the UK. In England alone almost 360,000 households approached their council for help with homelessness in the last year, a 10% increase. The highest number of people ever recorded are in temporary accommodation. Rough sleeping is rising in every region and a record nearly 12,000 people were seen sleeping rough on the streets of London over the last year. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have all recorded increases in homelessness.
