Frontline Network & Shelter: Understanding Homelessness & Housing Training

The session will focus on gaining an understanding of Homelessness & Housing rights, which is perfect for those new to the sector and also those wanting a refresher.

On the day the knowledgeable Shelter team will cover the following:

• what duties a local authority might owe to a homeless applicant
• the five tests of homelessness, including priority need and eligibility
• when accommodation duties are triggered and what this means

You don't need any prior knowledge of homelessness applications for this course.

You might be new to a role as an adviser or work for a local authority in housing or homelessness. This course is also suitable if you don't specialise in housing but need to know the basics. This is open to collegues from the statutory, public & third sector.

There will be breakfast pastries on arrival and refreshments throughout the morning. This is also a great opportunity to connect with other local partners and share expertise.
