Number of homeless people sleeping on streets in England hits highest level on record More than 4,500 people were recorded as sleeping rough on any given night in autumn last year – a figure that has more than doubled since 2010
The number of people sleeping rough in England has hit a record-high – after a 73 per cent increase over the last three years.
Official government data shows that on any given night in autumn last year, 4,751 people were recorded sleeping on the streets, a figure that has more than doubled since 2010.
Campaigners have described the rise as a “catastrophe” following continual rises since 2010, urging that evidence shows how the problem can be fixed and calling on the Government to take" swift action" to tackle the problem. The Independent
