Homelessness (Suitability of Accommodation) (England) Order 2012

The proposed draft Homelessness (Suitability of Accommodation) (England) Order 2012 sets out those circumstances in which accommodation used for the private rented sector offer to end the main homelessness duty is not to be regarded as suitable.  A formal response has been submitted to this consultation from the CLA for the following reasons:

1.  The consultation presents an opportunity to highlight lack of employment opportunities and poor communications and services in   some rural locations.

2.  In the event that RP status is attained, it is important that new stock delivered is not used to house homeless households from out of area.  Whilst the consultation is focused on the appropriateness of private rented stock for the client group, issues referred to at "1" above are relevant to other tenures.
