The number of homeless households in England has risen by a quarter in the last three years, new figures show. Some 50,290 families and individuals were classed as homeless and in need of emergency accommodation - an increase of more than 25%.
Local housing authorities have a legal duty to provide emergency accommodation for "priority need" groups left without a home, says the new report.
They include households with dependent children, pregnant women, vulnerable people with a mental illness or physical disability, victims of domestic violence and people left without homes due to a disaster such as fire or flooding.
Priority need categories also include applicants aged 16 or 17; 18 to 20-year-olds who were previously in care; people left vulnerable as a result of time spent in care, in custody, or the armed forces, and those who have fled their homes because of violence or the threat of violence.
