What are my rights as a homeless person?
If we believe you may be eligible, homeless and in priority need, we have a duty to provide temporary accommodation while we carry out our enquiries. If we decide that we do have a duty to provide you with accommodation, we will do so until that duty ends. If we decide that we do not have a duty to continue housing you, we will normally continue to provide accommodation for 28 days from the date of decision. For further information see the Homelessness section.
