Housing Association tenants - temporary accommodation or not?

Hello all

Do you have a client who would be willing to be part of CPAG’s strategic litigation?

CPAG is looking for a Universal Credit claimant in temporary accommodation who is struggling to get their housing costs covered through either Universal Credit or Housing Benefit.  In particular, CPAG is looking for claimants where UC and HB both claim that they are not responsible for paying housing costs.

This situation arises where there is a dispute over whether the claimant is classed as being in temporary accommodation after having been provided with their housing association tenancy as a result of a local authority homelessness department referring the individual to the housing association in order to discharge the local authority’s homelessness duty.

To refer a client living in England or Wales please send me a Rightsnet message or email .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) with any questions.
