From 2019, figures started to be reported quarterly . There were 19 households living in B&Bs in Liverpool between October and December of 2019.Last winter, Liverpool City Council declared a housing and homelessness emergency as it faced an unprecedented situation in terms of people losing their homes and needing emergency accommodation.
