According to an Inside Housing article, LGBTQ+ Homelessness: the Data Hole that Undermines Services, young people who identify as LGBTIQA+ are at greater risk of homelessness compared with their straight and non-trans contemporaries, yet this data is not routinely collected. Do the Combined Homelessness and Information Network (CHAIN) record data on how many LGBTIQ+ people are sleeping rough on London’s streets? If so, could you provide a breakdown of these numbers over the last four years, and if not, could you start collating and publishing this information?
