To ask His Majesty's Government how many women in England were rough sleeping in (1) 2019, (2) 2020, (3) 2021, (4) 2022, and (5) 2023.
Baroness Scott of Bybrook

The annual Rough Sleeping Snapshot includes the number of women estimated to be sleeping rough in England on a single night in autumn between 2019 and 2023.
The annual autumn snapshot statistics remain our official and most robust measure of rough sleeping on a single night given they are independently verified and are published in line with the Code of Practice for Statistics.
We recognise that women sleeping rough may experience rough sleeping differently and may be less likely to be seen during the annual snapshot count. DLUHC is supporting the Women’s Rough Sleeping Census – developed by Solace Women’s Aid, SHP and London Councils - which aims to collect more comprehensive data on women experiencing rough sleeping and trial different methods of data collection.
