Synopsis

The Housing Act 1996 completely revised the law on homelessness and linked it much more closely to that on allocations of housing stock through waiting lists. This edition was rewritten in the light of these changes and expanded to cover the revised law on allocations. It provides coverage of the interaction between homelessness and allocations under Part VI, the rules affecting eligibility, the definition of "homelessness", priority need and intentionality, and the temporary-housing duty towards homeless people. Also covered are the duty to provide an advice service, and the operation of the internal and county-court appeal system for homelessness.
