Please provide the total number of deaths of homeless individuals living in temporary accommodation from 1 January 2024 to present, broken down by local authority.
We said
Thank you for your request.
We have previously published statistics on deaths of homeless people. The definition used relied on information provided on death certificates and does not align with official statistics on homelessness produced by public bodies. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a figure for deaths of homeless individuals living in temporary accommodation from these statistics, and we do not hold the information requested.
Following a consultation on health and social care outputs, we have paused publication of the Deaths of homeless people in England and Wales release, but we are undertaking an improvement programme to provide more robust statistics to help better meet user needs.
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government do publish statistics on homelessness and rough sleeping in England which may be of interest. However, please note this does not provide statistics on death.
