A letter for notifying a section 202 review decision to a homeless applicant where you're upholding an original decision that:

• The applicant became homeless intentionally, and
• The relief duty had ended because 56 days had passed.*

The letter includes spaces for you to give case-specific reasons for your conclusions, including your decision that:

• Reasonable steps were taken to help the applicant find suitable housing, and
• It was reasonable and appropriate to notify the applicant that the s.189B(2) 'relief' duty had ended.

* It should be noted this letter is not designed for all situations in which an intentional homelessness decision is upheld on review. This is because there are other circumstances (apart from the expiry of 56 days) in which you may decide an applicant became homeless intentionally.
