About the Event

Since 1 January 2021 there have been 3 groups of persons applying for housing. These are:

  • Persons Subject to Immigration Control
  • EEA Nationals and their families
  • British Citizens

Each group has their own eligibility criteria when it comes to assessing whether a person is ineligible for allocation for housing accommodation. Persons Subject to Immigration Control may also have pre-settled status but remain ineligible. Although Swiss citizens in general have the same eligibility criteria as EEA citizens, separate agreements made between the Swiss and UK governments mean that the eligibility criteria for their family members are slightly different. 

Since the 1 January 2021 we have had many changes to the eligbility criteria. New rules apply to EEA Citizens and their family members. The changes also impact on certain family members of British Citizens. We have also had several changes to the eligibility criteria of Persons Subject to Immigration Control, including Hong Kong British Nationals, people from Afghanistan and Ukraine. 

This up to date course will provide all the information on the current eligibility changes. 

This course aims to assist caseworkers involved in assessing whether applicants are eligible in relation to applications made under Part 7 Housing Act 1996 by providing them with a practical guide in investigating homelessness applications taking into account case law and associated legislation. The course will also provide practical advice on writing S184 ‘Not Eligible’ decision letters and all delegates will receive 7 decision letter templates. Delegates will also be provided with easy to follow flowcharts to help them work out if an applicant is eligible for assistance when making a homeless application. 

Delegates will also be able to go through real life eligibility exercises.

Who Should Attend

This course is suitable for those assessing eligibility in accordance with Part 7 Housing Act 1996.
