PRACTICE NOTES
Pre-3 April 2018 local housing authority homelessness duties in England and Wales (archived): HA 1996 and Housing (Wales) Act 2014—prevention, relief, full duty and discharge
ARCHIVED: This Practice Note is archived and is no longer maintained.
The Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 (Commencement and Transitional and Savings Provisions) Regulations 2018, SI 2018/167, were made on 8 February 2018, and the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 (HRA 2017) took legal effect in its entirety on 3 April 2018.
This introduced a major statutory shift to the obligations of local housing authorities in England under the Housing Act 1996, aligning the position more closely with that operating in Wales then.
This Practice Note stays pertinent only to applications submitted before 3 April 2018.
For information on the principal housing duties for applications after 3 April 2018 in England, see Practice Note Homelessness—assisting the homeless post-3 April 2018.
This Practice Note reflects law prior to 3 April 2018 and is not maintained now.
