One bit of good news in general gloom about homelessness: the number of families with children living in bed and breakfasts beyond the six-week legal limit fell 8% in latest quarter (the first 'Labour' one). Still 3,470 of them though, 21 times higher than in 2010

Quite a concerning rise in the length of time it takes landlords to relet homes - even for those that don't need major repairs. Anecdotally, I hear that landlords are finding it harder to find contractors (including for minor repairs). Are there other reasons for this?

More people slept rough on the streets of London in the run up to Christmas 2024 than did in the run up to Christmas 2023. We're going in the wrong direction and we need a national plan if the situation is to improve

NEW: Last year we reported 55 homeless children had died while living in temporary accommodation in 4 yrs.
We reported that TA deaths were likely much higher because data collection was not routine.
Now, new research shows between Oct 23-Sept 24, 80 children died in TA. www.itv.com/news/2024-03...
