Duty in cases of threatened homelessness
Duties to help to secure accommodation
Amend the Housing Act 1996 to make provision about measures for reducing homelessness; and for connected purposes Be it enacted by the Queen’s most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:— Homelessness and threatened homelessness
Section 175 of the Housing Act 1996 (homelessness and threatened homelessness) is amended as follows.
Subsection (3C) applies where—
a valid notice is given to a person (“the recipient”) under section 8 or 21 of the Housing Act 1988 (notice that possession is sought) in respect of accommodation available for the recipient’s occupation,
it is reasonable to suppose that the landlord intends to apply for an order for possession of the accommodation under section 7 or 21 of that Act (as the case may be), and
no local housing authority in England asks, in accordance with subsection (3D) or (3E), the recipient, and any other persons with whom the recipient resides or might reasonably be expected to reside (“other relevant persons”), to occupy the accommodation after the relevant day.
In this section “the relevant day” means—
in the case of a notice under section 8 of the Housing Act 1988, the day before the day specified in the notice as the earliest day on which proceedings for possession will begin;
in the case of a notice under section 21, the day on which the notice expires.
The recipient and any other relevant persons are to be treated as not having the accommodation after the relevant day.
Where a notice has been given under section 8 of the Housing Act 1988 as mentioned in subsection (3A)(a), a local housing authority in England may ask the recipient and any other relevant persons to occupy the accommodation after the relevant day if—
the authority consider that the recipient and any other relevant persons can reasonably be expected to do so, and
the authority consider that there is a reasonable prospect that, if proceedings for an order under section 7 of the Housing Act 1998 are brought—
those proceedings will be discontinued by the landlord, or
the recipient will successfully defend those proceedings.
Where a notice has been given under section 8 or 21 of the Housing Act 1988 as mentioned in subsection (3A)(a), a local housing authority in England may ask the recipient and any other relevant persons to occupy the accommodation after the relevant day if—
the authority have taken reasonable steps to try to persuade the landlord to—
withdraw the notice, or (ii)
delay applying for an order for possession of the accommodation.
For the purposes of subsections (3D)(a) and (3E)(a), in considering whether the recipient and any other relevant persons can reasonably be expected to occupy the accommodation after the relevant day, the authority must take into account—
the likely consequences (financial or otherwise) of the recipient and any other relevant persons ceasing to have the accommodation after the relevant day, for—
the recipient, (ii)
any other relevant persons, and
the likely consequences (financial or otherwise) of the recipient and any other relevant persons occupying the accommodation after the relevant day for those mentioned in sub-paragraphs (i) to (iii) of paragraph (a), (c)
in relation to subsection (3D)(a), the likelihood that—
any proceedings for an order under section 7 of the Housing Act 1988 for possession of the accommodation will be discontinued by the landlord, or
the recipient will successfully defend any such proceedings,
the likelihood of the authority persuading the landlord to—
delay applying for an order for possession of the accommodation, and
For the purposes of subsections (3), (3D)(a) and (3E)(a) it is not reasonable for a person to occupy accommodation if doing so would breach an order of a court.”
In subsection (4), for “28” substitute “56”.
Each local housing authority in England must provide or secure the provision of a service, available free of charge to any person in the authority’s district, providing information and advice on—
securing accommodation when homeless, (c)
the rights of persons who are homeless or threatened with homelessness, and the duties of the authority, under this Part,
any help that is available from the authority or anyone else, whether under this Part or otherwise, for persons in the authority’s district who are homeless or may become homeless (whether or not they are threatened with homelessness), and
The service must be designed to meet the needs of persons in the authority’s district including, in particular, the needs of—
persons released from prison or youth detention accommodation,
former members of the regular armed forces,
persons leaving hospital,
persons suffering from a mental illness or impairment, and
any other group that the authority identifies as being at particular risk of homelessness in the authority’s district.
The authority may give to any person by whom the service is provided on behalf of the authority assistance by way of grant or loan.
The authority may also assist any such person—
by permitting the person to use premises belonging to the authority,
by making available furniture or other goods, whether by way of gift, loan or otherwise, and
by making available the services of staff employed by the authority.

subsections (4) to (8) apply as they applied after the assessment was made.

After section 199 insert—
“199A
Duties to the applicant whose case is considered for referral or referred under section 198(A1)
Where a local housing authority (“the notifying authority”) notify an applicant that they intend to notify or have notified another local housing authority in England (“the notified authority”) under section 198(A1) of their opinion that the conditions are met for referral of the applicant’s case to the notified authority, the notifying authority—
cease to be subject to any duty under section 188 (interim duty to accommodate in case of apparent priority need), and
are not subject to the duty under section 189B (initial duty owed to all eligible persons who are homeless).
But, if the notifying authority have reason to believe that the applicant may have a priority need, they must secure that accommodation is available for occupation by the applicant until the applicant is notified of the decision as to whether the conditions for referral of the applicant’s case are met.
When it has been decided whether the conditions for referral are met, the notifying authority must give notice of the decision and the reasons for it to the applicant.
If it is decided that the conditions for referral are not met—
the notifying authority are subject to the duty under section 189B,
the references in subsections (4) and (7)(b) of that section to the day that the notifying authority are first satisfied as mentioned in subsection (1) of that section are to be read as references to the day on which notice is given under subsection (3) of this section, and

the duty owed to the applicant under section 189B coming to an end, and

If it is decided that the conditions for referral are met— (a)
for the purposes of this Part, the applicant is to be treated as having made an application of the kind mentioned in section 183(1) to the notified authority on the date on which notice is given under subsection (3),
from that date, the notifying authority owes no duties to the applicant under this Part,
where the notifying authority have made a decision as to whether the applicant is eligible for assistance, is homeless or became homeless intentionally, the notified authority may only come to a different decision if they are satisfied that—
the applicant’s circumstances have changed, or further information has come to light, since the notifying authority made their decision, and
that change in circumstances, or further information, justifies the notified authority coming to a different decision to the notifying authority, and
the notifying authority must give to the notified authority copies of any notifications that the notifying authority have given to the applicant under section 189A(3) or (10) (notifications of the notifying authority’s assessments of the applicant’s case).
A duty under subsection (2) or paragraph (c) of subsection (4) ceases as provided in the subsection or paragraph concerned even if the applicant requests a review of the authority’s decision upon which the duty ceases.

References in this section to a local housing authority’s functions under this Part to secure that accommodation is available for the occupation of a person do not include a duty under section 189B(2) or 195(2).”
After section 193 of the Housing Act 1996 insert—
“193A
Notices in cases of an applicant’s deliberate and unreasonable refusal to co-operate (1)
Section 193B applies where—
a local housing authority owe a duty to an applicant under section 189B(2) or 195(2), and
the authority give notice to the applicant under subsection (2).
A local housing authority may give a notice to an applicant under this subsection if the authority consider that the applicant has deliberately and unreasonably refused—
to co-operate with the authority in relation to the authority’s exercise of their functions under section 189B(2) or 195(2), or
to take any step— (i)
that the applicant agreed to take under subsection (4) of section 189A, or
that was recorded by the authority under subsection (6)(b) of that section.
explain why the authority are giving the notice and its effect, and
inform the applicant that the applicant has a right to request a review of the authority’s decision to give the notice and of the time within which such a request must be made.
The authority may not give notice to the applicant under subsection (2) unless—
the authority have given a relevant warning to the applicant, and
a reasonable period has elapsed since the warning was given.
A “relevant warning” means a notice— (a)
given by the authority to the applicant after the applicant has deliberately and unreasonably refused—
to co-operate with the authority in relation to the authority’s exercise of their functions under subsection 189B(2) or 195(2), or
to take any step that the applicant agreed to take under subsection (4) of section 189A or that was recorded by the authority under subsection (6)(b) of that section,
that warns the applicant that, if the applicant should deliberately and unreasonably refuse as mentioned in paragraph (a)(i) or (ii) after receiving the notice, the authority intend to give notice to the applicant under subsection (2), and
that explains the consequences of such a notice being given to the applicant.
For the purposes of subsections (2) and (5), in deciding whether a refusal by the applicant is unreasonable, the authority must have regard to the particular circumstances and needs of the applicant (whether identified in the authority’s assessment of the applicant’s case under section 189A or not).
The Secretary of State may make provision by regulations as to the procedure to be followed by a local housing authority in connection with notices under this section.
A notice under this section must be given in writing and, if not received by the applicant, is to be treated as having been given to the applicant if it is made available at the authority’s office for a reasonable period for collection by or on behalf of the applicant.
Notice under section 193A: consequences
In the circumstances mentioned in section 193A(1), this section applies in relation to a local authority and an applicant.
The authority’s duty to the applicant under section 189B(2) or 195(2) comes to an end.
Subsection (4) applies if the authority—
are satisfied that the applicant is homeless, eligible for assistance and has a priority need, and
are not satisfied that the applicant became homeless intentionally.
Section 193 (the main housing duty) does not apply, but the authority must secure that accommodation is available for occupation by the applicant.
The authority cease to be subject to the duty under subsection (4) if the applicant—
ceases to be eligible for assistance,
becomes homeless intentionally from accommodation made available for the applicant’s occupation,
accepts an offer of an assured tenancy from a private landlord, or
otherwise voluntarily ceases to occupy, as the applicant’s only or principal home, the accommodation made available for the applicant’s occupation.
The authority also cease to be subject to the duty under subsection (4) if the applicant, having been informed of the possible consequences of refusal or acceptance and of the applicant’s right to request a review of the suitability of the accommodation, refuses or accepts— (a)
a final accommodation offer, or
a final Part 6 offer.
An offer is “a final accommodation offer” if—
it is an offer of an assured shorthold tenancy made to the applicant in relation to any accommodation which is, or may become, available for the applicant’s occupation,
it is made, by or with the approval of the authority, in pursuance of arrangements made by the authority with a view to bringing the authority’s duty under subsection (4) to an end, and
the tenancy being offered is a fixed term tenancy (within the meaning of Part 1 of the Housing Act 1988) for a period of at least 6 months.
A “final Part 6 offer” is an offer of accommodation under Part 6 (allocation of housing) that is made in writing and states that it is a final offer for the purposes of this section.
The authority may not make or approve a final accommodation offer or a final Part 6 offer unless they are satisfied that the accommodation is suitable for the applicant and that subsection (10) does not apply.
This subsection applies to an applicant if—
the applicant is under contractual or other obligations in respect of the applicant’s existing accommodation, and
the applicant is not able to bring those obligations to an end before being required to take up the offer.”
In section 193 (duty to persons with priority need who are not homeless intentionally), after subsection (1) insert—
But this section does not apply if the authority have given notice to the applicant under section 193A(2).”
In section 199 of the Housing Act 1996 (local connection), after subsection (7) insert—
While a local authority in England has a duty towards a person under section 23C of the Children Act 1989 (continuing functions in respect of former relevant children)—
if the local authority is a local housing authority, the person has a local connection with their district, and
otherwise, the person has a local connection with every district of a local housing authority that falls within the area of the local authority.
In subsection (8), “local authority” has the same meaning as in the Children Act 1989 (see section 105 of that Act).
Where, by virtue of being provided with accommodation under section 22A of the Children Act 1989 (provision of accommodation for children in care), a person is normally resident in the district of a local housing authority in England for a continuous period of at least two years, some or all of which falls before the person attains the age of 16, the person has a local connection with that district.
A person ceases to have a local connection with a district under subsection (10) upon attaining the age of 21 (but this does not affect whether the person has a local connection with that district under any other provision of this section).”
Section 202 of the Housing Act 1996 (right to request review of decision) is amended as follows.
In subsection (1)— (a)
in paragraph (b)— (i)
for “190 to 193” substitute “189B to 193B”;
omit “and 196”;
any decision of a local housing authority— (i)
as to the steps they are to take under subsection (2) of section 189B, or
to give notice under subsection (5) of that section bringing to an end their duty to the applicant under subsection (2) of that section,
any decision of a local housing authority to give notice to the applicant under section 193A(2) (notice given to those who deliberately and unreasonably refuse to co-operate),
as to the steps they are to take under subsection (2) of section 195, or
to give notice under subsection (5) of that section bringing to an end their duty to the applicant under subsection (2) of that section,”;
omit the “or” at the end of paragraph (f);
after paragraph (g) insert “, or
any decision of a local housing authority as to the suitability of accommodation offered to the applicant by way of a final accommodation offer or a final Part 6 offer (within the meaning of section 193B).”
An applicant may, under subsection (1)(h), request a review of the suitability of the accommodation offered whether or not the applicant has accepted the offer.”
Duty of public authority to refer cases in England to local housing authority
This section applies if a specified public authority considers that a person in England in relation to whom the authority exercises functions is or may be homeless or threatened with homelessness.
The specified public authority must ask the person to agree to the authority notifying a local housing authority in England of— (a)
the opinion mentioned in subsection (1), and
how the person may be contacted by the local housing authority.
agrees to the specified public authority making the notification, and (b)
identifies a local housing authority in England to which the person would like the notification to be made,
In this section “specified public authority” means a public authority specified, or of a description specified, in regulations made by the Secretary of State.
In subsection (4) “public authority” means a person (other than a local housing authority) who has functions of a public nature.”
The Secretary of State may from time to time issue one or more codes of practice dealing with the functions of a local housing authority in England relating to homelessness or the prevention of homelessness.

the exercise by a local housing authority of functions under this Part;
the training of an authority’s staff in relation to the exercise of those functions;
the monitoring by an authority of the exercise of those functions.
A code of practice may—
apply to all local housing authorities or to the local housing authorities specified or described in the code;
contain different provision for different kinds of local housing authority.
from time to time revise and reissue a code of practice under this section;
revoke a code of practice under this section.
The Secretary of State must publish the current version of each code of practice under this section in whatever manner the Secretary of State thinks fit.
A local housing authority must have regard to a code of practice under this section in exercising their functions.”
Article 3 of the Homelessness (Suitability of Accommodation) (England) Order 2012 (S.I. 2012/2601) (circumstances in which accommodation is not to be regarded as suitable for a person) (“the 2012 Order”) is amended in accordance with subsections (2) to (4).

determining whether any accommodation— (i)
secured for a vulnerable person by a local housing authority in discharge of their functions under section 189B(2) or 195(2) of that Act, and
made available for occupation under a tenancy with a private landlord,
is suitable for the purposes of the section concerned.
In paragraph (2)(c) “vulnerable person” means a person—
who is vulnerable for a reason mentioned in section 189(1)(c) of that Act, or
who is of a description of person specified in any of articles 3 to 6 of the Homelessness (Priority Need for Accommodation) (England) Order 2002 (S.I. 2002/2051).”
The amendments made by this section are without prejudice to any power to make an order or regulations amending or revoking article 3 of the 2012 Order.
The rest of this Act comes into force on such day or days as the Secretary of State may by regulations made by statutory instrument appoint.
Regulations under subsection (3) may make transitional, transitory or saving provision.
This Act may be cited as the Homelessness Reduction Act 2016.
