Placement policy emergency and temporary accommodation

This policy sets out Spelthorne Borough Council's ('the Council') approach for the placement of households in emergency and temporary accommodation, both inside and outside of the borough. It covers both interim placements made under s188 Housing Act 1996, while homelessness enquiries are undertaken, and longer term temporary accommodation (TA) placements for households accepted as homeless under s193 Housing Act 1996.
