The Minister for Housing has today published the latest quarterly Homelessness in Jersey report, detailing homelessness statistics for the end of 2025.
The report reveals that, in October to December 2025, a total of 267 Islanders were homeless – a decline from previous quarters.
This Homelessness in Jersey Report also shows that over 2025:
- Substance use is the highest reason for homelessness amongst males during 2025 at 14%
- Domestic abuse is the highest reason for homelessness amongst females during 2025 at 26%
- Young people struggle to manage independently – with this as at 9% of the reasons for homelessness for males and at 15% for females – during 2025.
The Minister for Housing, Deputy Sam Mézec, said: “I am grateful to the emergency accommodation and service providers, FREEDA, JAYF, Sanctuary Trust and The Shelter Trust, as well as the Housing Advice Service, for their ongoing contribution and support in supplying the data used to produce these reports.
“The reports set out the wide range of challenges faced by individuals, detailing their personal circumstances and the factors that have contributed to their homelessness, while also capturing the valuable perspectives of service providers themselves.
“This evidence has played an important role in strengthening our approach to tackling homelessness across several areas, with progress outlined in the update I published in January. The findings have also helped shape responses in connected and complex areas, including Jersey’s Mental Health Strategy.
“While I welcome the overall reduction in the number of people seeking support during the fourth quarter of 2025, this must not lead to complacency. Our commitment to addressing and resolving homelessness for Islanders remains unwavering.”
