56 Days: The No.1 Bestseller

Product Information

Housing authorities have duties to help prevent and relieve homelessness for eligible applicants who are threatened with becoming homelessness within 56 days, or are homeless. The section 195(2) prevention duty requires authorities to take reasonable steps to help the applicant to secure that accommodation does not cease to be available to them, and the relief duty requires housing authorities to take reasonable steps to help the applicant to secure that suitable accommodation becomes available to them for at least 6 months. For further guidance on the prevention duty see Chapter 12 and for further guidance on the relief duty see Chapter 13.

Fifty six days earlier Ciara and Oliver meet. Ciara seems so unsure of herself and so sure she's going to make a mistake, mess up things with this new guy. Oliver is beyond paranoid and has something big he's hiding. He knows he should run away from any chance of things going anywhere with this woman but he's so desperate for a relationship, no matter how unwise or short lived. If only she could get to know him before she "really" gets to know him.If the relief duty ends for this reason, an authority does not owe the applicant the main housing duty even if they are in priority need and not intentionally homeless.

Where an applicant rejects an offer of interim accommodation (or accepts and moves into the interim accommodation and then later rejects it), this will bring the housing authority’s interim accommodation duty to an end – unless it is reactivated by any change of circumstances. Note, however, that an applicant’s rejection of interim accommodation does not end other duties that the housing authority may owe under Part 7. Discretionary powers to secure accommodation During the prevention stage the housing authority can bring the prevention duty to an end but refusal does not affect any further duties that may be owed to the applicant if they become homeless. Both the prevention and relief duties can be brought to an end under section 193B and section 193C if an applicant deliberately and unreasonably refuses to take any of the steps that they agreed to take, or the housing authority set out for them to take where agreement could not be reached, in their personalised housing plan ( subsections (4) and (6)(b) of section 189A). Housing authorities might use the section 205(3) power to deliver accommodation services for groups that are at higher risk of homelessness, for example young people with low incomes. The power might also be used to provide additional help to those least able to secure accommodation directly from a private landlord, such as people with an offending history or people with a mental health problem. Housing authorities will wish to consider local priorities, needs and resources when considering how the power might best be utilised in their district. Section 193C(4): duty to accommodate applicants who have deliberately and unreasonably refused to co-operate pending final offer Where this is the case it is the responsibility of the housing authority to satisfy itself that there is a reasonable prospect of the accommodation being available for at least 6 months. This may, for example, involve securing written confirmation from the landlord that the applicant can remain in the accommodation on condition that they comply with documented conditions, and the housing authority having a reasonable expectation that the applicant is in a position to comply.Sure! 😊 We have had several participants doing The Next 56 Days that go in for their routine exams and the doctor asks them what they're doing.

The prevention and relief duties can also be brought to and end as a result of the applicant’s deliberate and unreasonable refusal to co-operate. For further guidance on non-cooperation see Chapter 14. Where the prevention duty is brought to an end due to deliberate and unreasonable refusal to co-operate, the applicant’s entitlements under any other section of Part 7, including the relief and main housing duties, are not affected. Housing authorities may refer an applicant’s case to another housing authority in England during the relief duty if the applicant does not have a local connection with the authority to which they have applied, and does have a local connection to another district where they would not be at risk of violence. For guidance on local connection referrals see Chapter 10. Deliberate and unreasonable refusal to co-operate (sections 193B and 193C) Where the applicant remains at risk of homelessness and the housing authority considers there is still the chance that homelessness can be prevented, it will be in the interests of both the applicant and the housing authority for work to continue to help the applicant avoid homelessness, whereupon they may make a new application to the housing authority for help under the relief duty.b) becomes homeless intentionally from accommodation made available to them under section 193.

The relief duty ends automatically after 56 days from when it was accepted if the local authority is satisfied that the applicant is in priority need and not homeless intentionally. [1] The local authority does not need to give the applicant a notice. Section 195(6) prevents a housing authority from bringing the prevention duty to an end after 56 days if the applicant has been given a valid section 21 notice which will expire in 56 days or has expired, and is in respect of their only available accommodation. This means that the housing authority will continue to owe a prevention duty beyond the initial 56 days, until the applicant is served with a section 195(5) notice on the basis that another of the circumstance set out in section 195(8) applies. Notification to end the relief duty (section 189B(7)) And, now DI Leah Riordan and DS Karl Connolly have been called to figure out what has happened between the couple who met just 56 DAYS ago....Section 189B(7) provides the circumstances in which the housing authority can give notice under section 189B(5) to the applicant bringing the relief duty under section 189B(2) to an end. For further guidance on the relief duty see Chapter 13. The housing authority should take into account the support needs and vulnerabilities of an applicant, which will have been identified during assessment, in determining whether they can reasonably expect the applicant to sustain the accommodation for at least 6 months. B – the housing authority has complied with the prevention or relief duty and 56 days have passed (regardless of whether the applicant is still threatened with homelessness in the case of the prevention duty or whether they have secured accommodation in the case of the relief duty) (sections 195 (8)(b) and 189B (7)(b)). There may be other circumstances where there is a reasonable prospect of suitable accommodation being available for at least 6 months, but this not necessarily being the same accommodation throughout. For example, an applicant with support needs may be placed in short term supported accommodation which forms part of a planned accommodation and support pathway overseen by the housing authority. This may meet the conditions for ending the duty under this subsection if there is a clear, documented expectation that the applicant will be supported to make a planned move directly to more settled supported or independent accommodation through the pathway service.
