- Draft legislation
This is a draft item of legislation. This draft has since been made as a Scottish Statutory Instrument: The Housing Support Services (Homelessness) (Scotland) Regulations 2012 No. 331
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make provision in relation to the duty of local authorities to assess whether some persons found to be homeless or threatened with homelessness (“an applicant”) need housing support services.
Regulation 2 prescribes four types of housing support services which apply for the purposes of that duty. If a local authority has reason to believe that an applicant may be in need of one or more of these services, it must assess whether the applicant, or any person residing with the applicant, is in need of such support. If so, the local authority must ensure that the service is provided to the person who needs it.
