The families may be failed asylum seekers, European Economic Area nationals (EEA) or visa over-stayers with No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) which is a condition imposed by the UK Visas and Immigration service on a person who is subject to immigration control, giving them no entitlements to benefits or public housing.

Where people are deemed to have NRPF under the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 and find themselves destitute. Families can apply to their local authority for support and they may turn to the Children’s Services under the following Acts:

Section 17 Children Act 1989 which requires the local authority to identify and meet the needs of children in need in their local area. A destitute child will be in need and the local authority can be required to provide accommodation and subsistence to the child and their parents under this section.

The Contractor will be required to provide temporary accommodation and emergency and other accommodation as required to prevent homelessness on behalf of the Council.

The Contractor must ensure that all properties proposed to be used as temporary accommodation by the Council have full evidence that the property can be used for this purpose. Lack of evidence will be considered a material breach.
