why is NOTIFY only for people accommodated under the homelessness legislation?
There are certainly other groups of homeless people living in temporary accommodation, such as asylum seekers being supported by social services departments or the National Asylum Support Service (NASS). Like those accommodated under the homelessness legislation, they often have particular difficulties accessing services. Because it is a new and groundbreaking system, that has cost a lot of time and money to develop – in the first instance it has concentrated on one particular group of homeless people. However, it has been designed to be flexible and it will be possible in the future to add additional groups of homeless people and additional organisations to the system.
