Statutory homelessness statistics

1. Key information about local authorities' discharge of their duties under homelessness legislation is collected on quarterly P1E returns. All returns undergo thorough validation to ensure that data are as complete and accurate as possible and typically at least 98 per cent of authorities provide data. Estimates are made for missing returns, along with imputations for any incomplete data, and summary results are published in a quarterly Statistical Release by Communities and Local Government, in accordance with National Statistics Code of Practice.
