The Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 is to ensure that everyone who is at risk of homelessness, or who is homeless, is legally entitled to meaningful help from their local authority regardless of their current status. It does this by defining the service that local councils and other public bodies must provide to those who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. The law requires councils to provide that help at an earlier stage than previously, with the objective that this will decrease the likelihood that people will become homeless.

Yes but if it in the way of the general public then they should be moved on where they are not in the way
@9CYFQD72yrs2Y
No, but the conditions of shelters and the state of housing in this country needs to improve
@9BQ7NPD2yrs2Y
Yes, provided they do not endanger or disrupt other people
@95XC9MF3yrs3Y
Yes, but we need to establish why available housing is being refused by the homeless
@93XJ27S3yrs3Y
Outreach programs and increased social care. Counciling and rehab
@93X62KC3yrs3Y
Refusal is a vague term, because homeless people struggling with drugs etc could be classed as refusing, which is not accurate.
@9B4YB9M2yrs2Y
only if they refuse due to an appropriate reason
@9B2LKH62yrs2Y
It depends if it is going to cause harm to other people due to unsocial behaviours
@98G6YH32yrs2Y
No but provide places they can go
