Housing Allocation and Homelessness: Law and Practice is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the legal obligations of local housing authorities when allocating social housing and assisting those who are homeless. Written by leading practitioners in the field, it provides detailed guidance on the statutory framework, case law and government policy in both England and Wales.

The seventh edition, co-written by existing authors and two new authors, provides a detailed update on the legislative and policy developments since the last edition, including

  • Significant changes following Renters’ Rights Bill (to become Renters’ Rights Act 2025)
  • New case-law including mandatory orders against local housing authorities for breach of statutory duty following R (Imam) v Croydon LBC, and the relevance of discrimination claims in homelessness and allocation cases
  • Revised and strengthened regulatory standards for social landlords, as result of Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023
  • Discussion of progress of Welsh Government to implement Ending Homelessness in Wales, including the proposed abolition of priority need and ‘becoming homeless intentionally’ tests contained in Homelessness and Social Housing Allocation (Wales) Bill.
