Statutory homelessness - detailed local authority data

England only - the duty is devolved and the other three nations publish different statistics. Local authority counts are unrounded; England and the regions are rounded to the nearest 10. MHCLG states its own release date per quarter so publication dates are the producer's rather than derived
