The number of single Bristol residents who are homeless has more than tripled during the pandemic, according to a council housing official.
Paul Sylvester, head of housing options at Bristol City Council, said there had been an absolutely massive 330 per cent increase in the number of single people requiring temporary accommodation during the past year.
He revealed the figure on Thursday, May 27, as he briefed a multi-agency housing group on the impact of Covid on homelessness in the city.
