Abstract

The House of Lords, in a recent judgment, has argued that those lacking the “capacity to understand and respond” to an offer of accommodation and most children under 16 cannot apply for accommodation under the Housing Act 1985, Part 111. Instead, they might be able to use the National Assistance Act 1948, section 21(1) or the Children Act 1989, section 20(1). This article analyses the effect of their Lordships' judgment on the Housing Act 1985, Part 111 and submits that these other provisions do not provide the same protection to these most vulnerable types of homeless people.
