This covers the local authority’s main homelessness duty in England, including how a person is assessed for homelessness, what accommodation and support may be offered, and the steps to challenge or review the duty if the initial decision is unfavorable.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The main housing duty arises when a person is found to be unintentionally homeless or threatened with homelessness. A solicitor would help gather and present evidence to the local authority, apply for a review or appeal if the duty is discharged incorrectly, and advise on securing interim or final accommodation under the Housing Act 1996 and related regulations. They may also liaise with housing options, tenancy support, and, where needed, the county court for remedies if decisions are disputed.
