Homelessness, January to March 2009, 24/06/09 [W]

The latest National Statistics on Homelessness produced by the Welsh Assembly Government.

Key points from the latest release:

In general the number of households accepted as homeless have fallen since the end of 2003-04. This trend has continued during the January to March quarter 2009, with 1,334 households accepted as homeless. This is a fall of 7 per cent from the previous quarter and 21 per cent from the same quarter a year earlier.
Following a peak in mid 2005, the use of temporary accommodation has generally been falling. At the end of March 2009 there were 2,823 households in temporary accommodation which is 2 per cent lower than the end of March 2008. However the March 2009 figure is up by 5 per cent from the end of December 2008.
By the end of March 2009, there were 261 households in Bed and Breakfast accommodation. Following a sharp decrease since mid 2004, the use of B&B accommodation increased slightly for most of 2008. However the number of households in B&B at the end of the March quarter 2009 had fallen again and was 2 per cent less than the previous quarter.
The number of families with children in Bed and Breakfast accommodation continues to fall accounting for 7 per cent of all households in B&B accommodation by the end of March 2009. This compares with 13 per cent at the end of March 2008.
