Who is intentionally homeless?
The council will also look at why you have become homeless. If you are homeless because of something you have done (or not done) and this leads to you being asked to leave your home, you could be told you are ‘intentionally homeless’. If you have become homeless through no fault of your own and in circumstances beyond your control, then it is unlikely you will be treated as intentionally homeless. If you think you may lose your home, it is important you get advice as soon as possible. Do not leave whilst you have a right to stay as this may affect what help you receive in the longer term – Always seek advice before giving up your home.
