The number of people officially recorded as being homeless is still above 10,000.

Figures just released show 10,448 men, women and children were in emergency accommodation in November.

That is a drop of 66 people, compared to the month before.

According to the Department of Housing, 3752 of those in hotels and B&Bs in November were children.

The Housing Minister has been criticised for delaying the publication of homeless figures.

The ongoing homeless crisis will undoubtedly be one of the biggest voter concerns in the upcoming general election.

Homeless numbers first passed the 10,000 in February 2019, and haven't fallen below that figure since.
