Homelessness
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she has plans to amend the Homelessness Code of Guidance to clarify the obligations of local authorities at the (a) presentation, (b) initial interview and (c) assessment stage.
Answered by Rushanara Ali
Our Homelessness Code of Guidance provides a summary of the homelessness legislation duties, powers and obligations on housing authorities and others towards people who are homeless or threatened with homelessness.
We keep the Homelessness Code of Guidance under review and update it regularly to provide up to date relevant advice, following changes to legislation and feedback from our Homelessness Advice and Support Team of advisors who meet regularly with local authorities.
