Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Part VI of the Housing Act 1996 is concerned with the allocation of housing accommodation by a local housing authority in England and Wales. Section 167 requires that an authority’s scheme for determining priorities in allocating housing gives reasonable preference to a range of persons and additional preference to certain of those persons. These Regulations provide that reasonable preference is also to be given to certain categories of persons who have been homeless, and they widen the category of persons to whom additional preference is to be given.
