Hi everyone,
Please have a look at the statistics of EMPTY homes in the uk from October 2019.

The impact and scale of empty housing
High levels of empty properties are recognised as having a serious impact on the viability of communities. Consequently, it has been identified that dealing with empty properties can have social, regenerative, financial and strategic benefits.
Statistics published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) put the number of empty homes in England in October 2019 at 648,114. This represents a 2.2% increase on the previous year’s total. Of the 648,114, 225,845 were classed as long-term empty properties (empty for longer than six months).
These are large numbers when you see how many people are living on our streets at night,
According to the latest Government figures, collected in the autumn of 2019 and published in February 2020, 4,266 people are estimated to be sleeping rough on a single 'typical' night.
There was a decrease of 9% between 2018 and 2019. However, since 2010 the rough sleeping figure has increased by 141%.
This is just a short summery of statistics from 2019 and does not include family’s that are currently living in hostels,
I have only one question!!!! Why do we have people living on our streets!

More than a million on social housing waiting lists

The official figures highlighted by housing charity, Shelter, also show 290,000 homes became available in 2017, leaving a shortfall nationally of about 800,000

Homelessness is a struggle we see locally and nationally; my question to you is how many people do you think are homeless in the UK?
In the last year, more than 320,000 people have slept on the streets at least once, an estimate of 170,000 of those people are experiencing rough sleeping, night shelters or improper temporary accommodation in the UK, as research has suggested
An estimated 320,000 people are homeless in the UK, according to the latest research by Shelter. This equates to one in every 201 Brits and was an increase of four per cent on the previous year’s number.

Although the Government insists the number of empty homes is falling, the Liberal Democrats recently conducted a study which found 216,00 properties which have been vacant for over six months, across 276 councils in the UK (BBC). Out of these 216,000:
• 60,000 have been vacant for over two years.
• 23,000 have been left empty for over five years.
• 11,000 have remained empty for more than ten years
Defence have admitted for the first time that up to four per cent of homeless people are former servicemen and women.

Yorkshire & Humberside has seen an increase of 2.4% in average rental values in September 2020 compared to September 2019, at £673 per month.
