Yes. House prices are still increasing but nowhere near as much as they were as a result of the supply increase in social housing and the economy generally. For the same reason, we did not see as many presentations into emergency accommodation in 2018 as we saw in 2017 and 2016. My point about the past two months is not that it is a trend but, if those figures repeat and more people are exiting than are entering, that will be significant over the course of 2019.

The figure is 5,100, off the top of my head, for exits from homelessness so it includes preventions and people leaving emergency accommodation.
