UK - Hidden homeless women are being missed from official figures, charities warn

by Michael Buchanan, 6/9/2026

Excerpt: "While the official government snapshot for autumn 2025 found 733 women were rough sleeping on a single night across England, the charities' research found almost double that number had slept rough in the previous three months in the boroughs they patrolled.

"The census total includes 162 female rough sleepers in six local authority areas where the official data recorded none."

Undercounted? More census data needed on LGBTQ community, experts say

As the battle over gay rights rages across the country, it's not clear how many people even identify as LGBTQ, and the data could be crucial.

EU Gives 32 Gas Permits as Study Says Methane Undercounted by 40%

In what will be a huge boon for US fracking, 32 different natural gas projects on the Projects of Common Interest list have been greenlit by the European Commission. Congress gave $1 billion to projects on the list last December.
