Homelessness in Bassetlaw:
The Government introduced new legislation in April 2018 which changed the way Councils have to deal with homeless households. The Homeless Reduction Act amended existing homelessness law in 5 key ways:
- Improving the advice and information available about homelessness and the prevention of homelessness
- Extending the period ‘threatened with homelessness’ from 28 days to 56 days
- Introducing new duties to prevent and relieve homelessness for all eligible people, regardless of priority need, intentionality and local connection
- Introducing assessments and personalised housing plans
- Encouraging public bodies to work together to prevent and relieve homelessness through a duty to refer
