Exclusive: Temporary accommodation spending by councils close to £1bn #ukhousing

Council spending on temporary accommodation has increased 56% in five years #ukhousing

The annual bill rocketed 56% in the past five years, up from £602m in 2013/14 to £937m in 2017/18.

Over that period, the total spend was at least £3.87bn, based on figures obtained from 290 local authorities through the Freedom of Information Act.

Over the same time frame, just over £1bn was spent keeping homeless households in B&Bs, guest houses or hotels, according to the 181 councils which broke the data down into different types of accommodation for the five years.

Another £1bn was forked out for private sector temporary accommodation, most commonly either leased from individual private landlords or contracted out to companies.

Councils managed to claw back nearly four-fifths of the money through housing benefit – meaning the government has paid out an estimated £3bn for temporary accommodation in the past five years.

The actual figures are likely to be higher still, since the remaining 36 councils with responsibility for homelessness in England did not respond at the time of going to press.

London’s 33 authorities accounted for 78.2% of temporary accommodation spending last year.

Hackney, Enfield and Westminster councils had bills of £54.8m, £49.9m and £48m respectively.

Newham Council, in east London, would not release its 2017/18 figure as it said it has not yet been finalised, but it topped the 2016/17 list, spending £61m, and remains England’s ‘homeless capital’ with 4,892 households in temporary accommodation.

According to official statistics there were 79,880 households in temporary accommodation at the end of March – an increase of 44.8% since 2013.

“These figures highlight the absurd false economy of the government paying hundreds of millions of pounds to private landlords while people remain in temporary accommodation,” said Matt Downie, director of policy and external affairs at homelessness charity Crisis.

“Clearly, sustaining the current temporary accommodation system is placing huge strain on both the public purse and the thousands forced to live their lives in limbo.”

A spokesperson for the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said: “Everyone deserves a safe and decent place to live and we are providing more than £1.2bn so those who are homeless get the support they need.

“Councils have a duty to provide suitable temporary accommodation to those who need it.”

At a glance: Homelessness Reduction Act 2017

The Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 came into force in England on 3 April 2018.

The key measures:

  • An extension of the period ‘threatened with homelessness’ from 28 to 56 days – this means a person is treated as being threatened with homelessness if it is likely they will become homeless within 56 days
  • A duty to prevent homelessness for all eligible applicants threatened with homelessness, regardless of priority need
  • A duty to relieve homelessness for all eligible homeless applicants, regardless of priority need
  • A duty to refer – public services will need to notify a local authority if they come into contact with someone they think may be homeless or at risk of becoming homeless
  • A duty for councils to provide advisory services on homelessness, preventing homelessness and people’s rights free of charge
  • A duty to access all applicants' cases and agree a personalised plan
