Overview
- Summary of dataset and variables
This relates to the number of individuals experiencing homelessness and being supported by local authorities into temporary accommodation.
Temporary accommodation is defined as suitable accommodation that is likely to last for under 6 months, including short-term supported accommodation.
An occurrence of a person being placed into temporary accommodation does not include transfers between different temporary accommodations.
- Data collection or calculation
The information presented here is collected via monthly returns from local authorities.
Due to an unexpected system disruption following an upgrade, Vale of Glamorgan were unable to provide data for November 2025, December 2025 and January 2026. In agreement with the local authority, October 2025 data has therefore been used as an estimate for these months. All totals across Wales for November 2025, December 2025 and January 2026 should be treated as provisional data.
