The housing authority and the applicant will then need to review the assessment and personalised plan undertaken under section 189A, devising new reasonable steps to help secure that accommodation becomes available for the applicant under the relief duty.

This power may be exercised where the housing authority was previously under a duty to secure accommodation for the applicant’s occupation under section 188, section 190, section 199A or section 200; and may be exercised whether or not the housing authority has exercised its powers to accommodate the applicant pending review. c) the applicant is not refusing to co-operate as a result of a mental illness or other health need, for which they are not being provided with support, or because of a difficulty in communicating;

The original decision to issue the notice must be made by an officer of the housing authority and then receive authorisation by an appropriate person. An ‘appropriate person’ is someone of at least an equivalent seniority to the officer who made the original decision to issue a notice, and they must: The Next 56 Days changed my life! Two years on the program and I've lost 115 pounds. I have more energy and feel better than I've felt in years! It's important to understand the program is NOT a diet…it's a lifestyle. I eat the foods I love with minor modifications. The network of support is amazing starting with my coach who's been with me throughout my journey. If I can do this, anyone can. Start your 56 Day journey today!! In determining the period of time for which accommodation will be secured under section 190(2) housing authorities must consider each case on its merits. A few weeks may provide the applicant with a reasonable opportunity to secure accommodation for themselves. However, some applicants might require longer and others, particularly where the housing authority provides pro-active and effective assistance, might require less time. Section 195(6) prevents a housing authority from bringing the prevention duty to an end after 56 days if the applicant has been given a valid section 21 notice which will expire in 56 days or has expired, and is in respect of their only available accommodation. This means that the housing authority will continue to owe a prevention duty beyond the initial 56 days, until the applicant is served with a section 195(5) notice on the basis that another of the circumstance set out in section 195(8) applies. Notification to end the relief duty (section 189B(7))

If an applicant is found to be intentionally homelessness and in priority need, the Code advises that the authority might wish to notify the applicant during the relief stage to give warning that the main duty will not be owed. [9] The authority has further duties to someone who is intentionally homeless and in priority need. Extending the relief duty beyond 56 days trying to see what day falls on the exact date difference of 56 weekdays from today, you can count up each day skipping Saturdays and Sundays. And, if you haven’t yet read “The Nothing Man” (my favorite-it gets a mention in this book) and I highly recommend it!The housing authority should take into account any particular difficulties that the applicant may have in managing communications when considering if failure to cooperate is deliberate and unreasonable, particularly if they are street homeless or moving between temporary places to stay such as the homes of different family and friends. Disclaimer: Whilst every effort has been made in building our calculator tools, we are not to be held The notice must specify which of the circumstances in section 189B(7) apply and inform the applicant that they have right to request a review of the authority’s decision to bring the relief duty under section 189B(2) to an end, and of the time frame within which such a request must be made.

Where the applicant has a priority need and the relief duty has ended under this circumstance, the main housing duty will not apply. An applicant should only be considered intentionally homeless under this provision if they have ceased to occupy accommodation which it would have been reasonable for them to continue to occupy, and which has been provided to them within the ‘reasonable steps’ provisions of the Act ( sections 195(2) and 189B(2)). In most cases where such accommodation has been secured the housing authority will already have notified the applicant that the prevention or relief duty has come to an end, and so there will be very limited circumstances in which the duty is brought to an end through the provision of section 195(8)(e) and 189B(7)(d). However, the provisions could apply for example, if an applicant had suitable accommodation secured as part of the housing authorities reasonable steps, and had surrendered without good reason or been excluded from that accommodation due to their actions, before the housing authority had served notice that the duty had been brought to an end under section 195(8)(a) or section 189B (suitable accommodation has been secured) Where the relief duty is brought to an end as a result of the applicant’s deliberate and unreasonable refusal to co-operate the main housing duty will not apply. However, under section 193C(4) the housing authority will, be required to secure that accommodation is available for an applicant who has priority need and is unintentionally homeless, until such time as they make a final accommodation offer or a final Part 6 offer of suitable accommodation, or the duty comes to an end for another of the reasons set out in section 193C(5). Notification to end the prevention duty

She is also the only one who knows the code that silences the fire alarm. It went off five minutes ago—that’s what has woken them—and the residents assume they have her to thank for taking care of it. e) the applicant refuses an offer of temporary accommodation which the housing authority is satisfied is suitable for the applicant ( section 193(5)). For this to be the case the applicant must have been informed of the possible consequences of refusal and of their right to ask for a review of the suitability of the accommodation, and have been notified by the housing authority that it regards itself as having discharged its duty. The authority can extend the duty. [8] If the applicant is not in priority need, no further duties arise after the end of the relief duty. s.189B(9)(b) Housing Act 1996 as inserted by s.5(2) Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 and s.193C(2) Housing Act 1996 as inserted by s.7(1) Homelessness Reduction Act 2017. In some circumstances housing authorities may be able to facilitate a move into accommodation in a lodging or sponsorship arrangement whereby the household shares accommodation in a private home with a ‘host’ household, such as the sponsorship arrangements in place under the Homes for Ukraine scheme. In such circumstances housing authorities may end a prevention or relief duty if they are satisfied that the sponsorship or lodging arrangements are suitable and will continue to be available for at least 6 months. Housing authorities are reminded that if households refuse a suitable offer of such accommodation, they may bring the relevant prevention or relief duty to an end but it there will be no consequences affecting any subsequent duties, including the main housing duty owed to the applicant if they refuse it (see paragraphs 14.25 to 14.27).
