Details

A Practical Guide to Homelessness Law in England is a handbook for lawyers and advisers handling homelessness cases in England. Combining legal analysis with practical insight, this guide takes readers through the full lifecycle of a homelessness application under Part VII of the Housing Act 1996 as amended by the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017, from first approach and assessment through to review, appeal and judicial review.

Authored by an experienced housing lawyer, the book explains the legal duties imposed on local housing authorities and the issues that regularly arise in homelessness casework. Readers are guided through the statutory framework, the relevant guidance and the key case law, with a focus on identifying unlawful decision-making and securing effective remedies for clients.

Comprehensive and accessible, this book is an essential reference for lawyers and advisers acting for homeless applicants and local authorities alike.
