The Homelessness Reduction Act (UK)

The Homelessness Reduction Act (UK), enacted in 2017, aims to improve support for people facing homelessness. It requires local authorities to offer early advice and assistance to anyone at risk of losing their home, even before they become homeless. The law places a duty on councils to work with individuals to develop personalized plans that help them find housing or prevent homelessness. This proactive approach ensures more timely intervention, helping individuals maintain stable housing and reducing the overall number of people experiencing homelessness.
