Prevention Duty: Local authorities may deliver their prevention duty through any activities aimed at preventing a household threatened with homelessness within 56 days from becoming homeless. This would involve activities to enable an applicant to remain in their current home or finding them alternative accommodation. The duty lasts for up to 56 days but may be extended if the local authority is continuing with efforts to prevent homelessness.
Relief duty: The relief duty is owed to households that are already homeless on approaching a local authority, or are homeless at the end of a prevention duty, and require help to secure settled accommodation.
Main duty: The ‘main’ homelessness duty describes the duty a local authority has towards an applicant who is unintentionally homeless, eligible for assistance and has priority need. Households are assessed to see if they are owed a main duty if they did not secure accommodation at the relief stage.
Temporary accommodation: Temporary accommodation is the term used to describe accommodation secured by a local housing authority under their statutory homelessness functions. The majority of households in temporary accommodation have been placed under the main homelessness duty, but temporary accommodation is also provided during the relief stage to households that the local authority has reason to believe may have priority need, or is provided on an interim basis in other circumstances such as pending the outcome of a review on a homelessness decision.Long-term empty is referred to when a home is left unfurnished/ not lived in for 6 months or more & is liable to pay Council Tax (Ministry of Housing Communities & local Government, 2024).
