Figure 7 demonstrates that there has been a continued increase in Traveller families being accommodated in standard Local Authority housing and halting sites between 2019 and 2023. At the same time the number of families in group housing schemes has remained stable. Accommodation provided by Approved Housing Bodies and in unauthorised sites has displayed a significant increase in 2023. While Traveller families recorded as living in private rental accommodation assisted by Local Authorities has dropped, this is largely due to improvements in the data recording system.
