    8000 homes for 4751 homeless people (methinks he let the Abbott out of the box again to help him with his maths) will the remaining 3249 remain empty while he waits for people who can't find a house to buy (because he brought them all) to become homeless?

    I'm kicking the missus out now though so she can get to the front of the queue!


    Sleeping rough is the severest form of homelessness. The 4751 homeless figure relates to the 2017 annual census just recently published (regarding those seen sleeping on the streets). The homeless figure for 2016 actual exceeds a quarter of a million - it contains those not housed and living in B&B, hostels etc.

    As an aside, the rough sleeping counts are hugely underestimated as they are a snapshot typically taken in one or two areas within a district or borough council's area for the duration of one or two hours. Realistically, these are a third or worse of the genuine figure.
