In towns and cities across the country, rough-sleepers are a common sight on our streets. They are the visible evidence of the UK’s ever-present problem of homelessness. While in some parts of the UK, levels of rough-sleeping have stabilised, in others the figure has risen sharply. Official figures from the first part of 2024 show that rough sleeping increased in every region of England compared to the previous year. The largest increase in the number of people estimated to be sleeping rough is in London, where there were 1,132 people this year, compared to 858 people in 2022, an increase of 274 people or 32%. Housing First: making homelessness history is an insight paper that highlights what is known about the homelessness intervention strategy, Housing First, and discusses the costs and funding of such projects.

With a shared goal of creating warmer, carbon-free homes, housing associations’ strategic use of data is essential for the successful planning, execution, and evaluation of retrofit projects.
