The Government recognises that homelessness levels are far too high. Local authorities report the number of people sleeping rough who left asylum support accommodation in the last 85 days and this data is published each quarter as part of the Rough Sleeping Data Framework. In June 2024, there were 198 people recorded as sleeping rough over the course of the month after leaving asylum support accommodation. In London, there were 59 people and in Ealing Council 2 people. Our data is split by local authority and not by constituency areas. All data is available here. MHCLG does not publish data on no recourse to public funds amongst people sleeping rough and on undocumented migrants sleeping rough.
