Change in spending on, and households in, temporary accommodation since 2009/10

Source: Institute for Government analysis of MHCLG, 'Local authority revenue expenditure and financing', 2009/10–2024/25 and MHCLG, 'Statutory homelessness live tables'.Notes: Figures for households in temporary accommodation are averages across the relevant end-of-quarter data for each financial year, and cover England only. Data collection methods changed in 2018/19, although MHCLG has made the figures comparable over time. Spending figures are real terms and cover the Greater London Authority and all combined and local authorities in England for completeness, although local authorities account for the vast majority. They exclude spending on administration for temporary accommodation to ensure a consistent time series. Spending data for 2020/21 has been excluded, as it was affected by Covid.Get the data Download image
