Our homelessness statistics includes data for young people by age 16-17 and 18-24. The most recent figures for April – June 2024 are available here: Detailed_LA_202406_fix.xlsx within tab A6, and the figures for April 2023 – 31 March 2024 are available here: Detailed_LA_20232024.xlsx within tab A6.
