A record 1,611 homeless people, including 11 children, died in 2024, according to new figures, which lay bare the shocking impact of the UK’s housing crisis.
Four of the children were babies under the age of one and came as homelessness deaths rose 9 per cent on the year before – up from 1,474 deaths in 2023, and 1,313 in 2022, the research from The Museum of Homelessness revealed.
