'Many families are left in temporary accommodation for years due to a lack of suitably sized permanent housing.' - mikedailly
The primary issue in X v. Glasgow City[2022] CSOH 35 was whether a local authority was under an absolute legal obligation to provide accommodation suitable for occupation by a homeless household, “taking into account the needs of a household”, in terms of the 2014 Unsuitable Accommodation Order.
Many families are left in temporary accommodation for years due to a lack of suitably sized permanent housing. The effect of this approach is quite profound. It means there’s no absolute duty to meet the needs of a household as assessed by a local authority when it comes to temporary homeless accommodation.
The upshot of the case of X is that interim accommodation is now treated as entirely different to permanent accommodation when it comes to suitability. We then have a conflation of the 2021 changes to Scots law with older English cases that pertain to entirely different aspects of English homelessness law.
