In 2023/24 approximately 64,960 households in England were accepted for main homeless duties, whereby the relevant local authority deemed the applicant to be unintentionally homeless and eligible for assistance. Before 2018/19 the figures are noticeably higher than this, with over 56,000 main duty acceptances in 2017/18, although this is due to the introduction of other statutory homeless duties in 2018/19.
