The Department does not hold information on the number of children in existing supported housing tenancies; however this information is collected for new lettings. The new lettings data is collected in the CORE (Continuous Recording of Lettings and Sales), which reports there were 11,370 children (under 16 years) in the households who were let supported housing in England in 2012-13.
