Government is reviewing the Homelessness Code of Guidance
as it overhauls how “homelessness data” is collected. In a letter to councils,
homelessness minister Marcus Jones MP said changes could be revealed in time for
the implementation of the Homelessness Reduction Act. The Code specifies
obligations local authorities must adhere to in supporting 16 and 17 year olds.
Implementation of the Act is expected from April next year, with £61m
government funding behind the bill. Councils can use the funding boost to pay
for the series of new responsibilities they must meet under the act. Read more
