Temporary Accommodation

Reduce homelessness, increase housing supply and improve quality

In 2023, the number of households in temporary accommodation reached a staggering 109,000 – the highest number since records began.

Temporary accommodation is one of the biggest challenges facing councils across the country, with new data revealing that the number of children growing up in temporary accommodation has doubled since 2010.

At 31ten, we combine our experience in designing approaches to prevent homelessness with technical knowledge of how to maximise and develop the supply of housing. Our team has the knowledge and empathy to get into the detail of your challenges and explore holistic solutions tailored to your community’s needs.

Whether it’s redesigning preventative services, demand modelling, undertaking option appraisals or reviewing delivery vehicles, we can design interventions that will make an impact today, but also provide financial sustainability in the long term.

31ten provided invaluable expertise and insight in their strategic review of Homes for Haringey. Their detailed analysis of governance and financial sustainability, and exploration of optimisation options gave us clear, evidence-based recommendations to enhance our approach to Temporary Accommodation through use of the company.
