Homeless?

The legislation says that you are “homeless” if:

• You have no accommodation you are legally entitled to occupy;
• It is agreed that it is not reasonable for you to live in your accommodation;
• You have accommodation, but you cannot gain entry to it;
• You face violence/harassment, or are at risk of violence/harassment;
• You live in a place like a houseboat or caravan, and there is nowhere for you to place it and live in it;
• You may be ‘threatened with homelessness’ if you are going to lose your accommodation within 28 days.
