The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she plans to add specific protections for young people to the Homelessness Code of Guidance.

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, including young people.

We keep the Homelessness Code of Guidance under review and update it regularly following changes to legislation and feedback from our Homelessness Advice and Support Team of advisors who meet frequently with local authorities.
