North Yorkshire Council is set to build 90 new temporary accommodation units at a cost of £11.6m.

Gross spend on temporary accommodation was over £500,000 in 2019/20 and increased to more than £2,100,000 in 2022/23 – an overall increase in spending of 400%, according to a council report.

North Yorkshire Council members predict delivery of the new temporary accommodation units could bring annual savings of £1.7m by 2027/28.

Charities and housing bodies have urged the major parties to commit to building 90,000 social homes per year over the next decade to tackle the growing problem of homelessness.
