Many rough sleepers have been accommodated during the Covid-19 pandemic. This has been achieved without legislative changes to Part VII, Housing Act 1996. And funding has now been announced to keep those accommodated from returning to the streets.
In this webinar, Sarah McKeown, Clare Cullen and Alex Campbell of the Field Court Chambers housing team will consider:
- The interaction between the policy to house rough sleepers and a local authority’s legal obligations.
- Priority need and Covid-19.
- The impact of recent homelessness case law.
