Use this housing plan to confirm in writing:

• the steps someone should take to resolve their housing problem, and
• the steps you are taking to help them.

This version should be used when the plan is not being issued under section 189A of the Housing Act 1996.

This might be appropriate, for example, where:

• you do not have reason to believe that the applicant may be either homeless or threatened with homelessness (i.e. there is no homeless application), or
• you are issuing the plan having taken a homeless application and interviewed the applicant, but inquiries are ongoing (under s.184(1)) to determine whether the applicant is eligible for help and either homeless or threatened with homelessness.

In the latter case, this plan might form the basis for a subsequent plan that's formulated as part of the s.189A assessment (i.e. where you subsequently are satisfied the applicant is eligible for help and either homeless or threatened with homelessness).
