Answer
The latest data relating to ethnicity breakdown of homeless households in England can be found in the annual homelessness statistics and live homelessness tables here:
https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/homelessness-statistics
Housing is a devolved issue and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government does not collect homelessness data for Wales.
The Government is committed to tackling homelessness and is investing over £750 million this year to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping in England.
