Homelessness Reduction Act 2017

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This Act aims to reduce homelessness by requiring local councils to provide earlier help and support to people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. It places a legal duty on councils to prevent homelessness and help people secure or keep a home, rather than only helping them once they're already on the streets.
