Psst..........want a cheap reasonable preference?


Just wondered about prevention cases where they have been accommodated via a "Housing Option" into the private sector and as part of the deal are given "Reasonable Preference" under Part VI of the Housing Act. It just seems unfair to me that these clients are being given reasonable preference as bribe to prevent them making homelessness applications and will end up disadvantaging those people on the housing lists who may be in genuine need but will be quietly ignored and made to wait forever

Is the housing situation really this bad as to warrant these types of tactics ?

Well the government wanted homelessness applications reduced so anything goes to keep the statistics down
