Temporary accommodation covers housing provided by local councils while someone is homeless or waiting for settled housing under immigration or housing law. A solicitor practises by reviewing eligibility and the status of the local authority’s duty, challenging any missteps in assessments, and handling homelessness applications, reviews, and appeals to the county court if a decision is incorrect. They draft statements, gather evidence of priority need and vulnerabilities, and negotiate with housing officers to secure a lawful interim arrangement.
The key protection is the local authority’s duty to provide interim accommodation when homelessness or imminent homelessness is established, and any appeal or review of that decision. A solicitor ensures the duty is properly engaged, tight timelines are followed, and the client’s right to suitable, safe interim housing is argued with clear evidence and proper formal steps.
