Ending relief duty - 56 days passed / priority need but intentional / not in temporary accommodation

A letter for notifying a homeless applicant that the s.73 relief duty has ended because:

  • 56 days have passed since the applicant was notified that they were homeless and eligible for help
  • you've decided they have a priority need, but
  • you've also decided that they became homeless intentionally, and
  • the applicant does not 'escape' the intentionality sanction because they don't fall into any of the 'young person household' categories under section 75(3)(e) of the 2014 Act.

This particular version is for when the applicant is not occupying interim temporary accommodation. This might be, for example, because the s.68 duty ended previously during the relief period.

There are alternative letters, e.g. for where relief is ending and the applicant is intentional, but:

  • You're also ending the s.68 interim accommodation, and/or
  • The applicant 'escapes' disqualification from the full s.75 housing duty because of their 'child or young person' priority need status.
