Answer

I am advised that the figure of 674 households moved from rough sleeping into stable housing since September 2025 stated in the 17 June 2026 announcement drew from data correct at the time. The 515 households reported as housed through the Housing First programme by the end of March 2026 in the Homelessness Insights report drew from data correct to end of March 2026.
