Homelessness Reduction Act

The Homelessness Reduction Act is a UK law aimed at preventing homelessness and supporting those at risk. It requires local authorities to identify individuals or families who are facing or at risk of losing their homes earlier, and to offer tailored advice and assistance. The law emphasizes proactive prevention rather than just managing homelessness after it occurs, encouraging agencies to work together and intervene sooner. Its goal is to reduce the number of people becoming homeless by providing timely help, ensuring everyone has a chance to keep their home or find suitable alternative accommodation.
