This is the best summary I could come up with:


The data, published by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC), also reveals that the number of people facing homelessness because they received a so-called ‘no-fault’ eviction notice increased by 27.4% to 24,260.

The stark findings come alongside more figures released by the DLUHC, which shows that councils across England spent a record amount of money last year tackling homelessness.

The city of Manchester has one of the highest levels of homelessness in all of England, with one local charity estimating 1 in 80 people there have no fixed address.

While the government says repeatedly that they are doing everything they can to alleviate the problem, many councils across England say they simply don’t have enough staff to manage the enormous caseload put upon them by the homelessness crisis.

Speaking at last week’s Labour Party Conference in Liverpool, MP Mike Amesbury explained that the definition of affordable housing should be changed to “make it relate to the income in people’s pockets and their household budgets”.

With the Labour party very much seen as the government-in-waiting, councils will be hoping their commitment to the growing homelessness crisis will be significantly more robust than the Conservatives’.
