The Homelessness Act 2002 (sections 1 to 4) places a statutory duty upon every local authority to formulate a new Homelessness Strategy, at least every 5 years. Production of a new Strategy follows a Homelessness Review process, which involves reviewing homeless evidence and data, and consultation with agencies that provide homeless related services, and with homeless clients.
