Requesting reimbursement of temporary accommodation costs from a local authority that has accepted a local connection referral

This template letter enables you request the reimbursement of the costs your council has incurred in securing temporary accommodation for a homeless applicant whose case has been successfully referred to another authority on grounds of local connection under section 198 of the Housing Act 1996.

Paragraph 7.4 of the Local Authorities' Agreement recommends that once a referral is accepted the notified authority should reimburse the notifying authority for any expenses which have been reasonably incurred in providing temporary accommodation, as well as the cost of protecting the applicant's personal belongings.
