We said
We do not produce statistics on the number of empty homes, the number of homelessness applications, the number of people squatting or the number of properties being squatted in. However, the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) publishes annual statistics on the number of vacant dwellings by local authority district in England, going back to 2004. These data are available in the Excel workbook called Table 615, which can be downloaded from the following page:

DCLG also publishes statistics on homelessness, which are available from the following page:
