The Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It amends the Housing Act 1996.[1] The Act started as a Private Member's Bill introduced by Conservative Member of Parliament for Harrow East Bob Blackman.[2]
Blackman was drawn second in the 2016 annual Parliamentary ballot for a Private Member's Bill and put together the bill in partnership with national homelessness charity, Crisis.[3] It was the first Private Member's Bill to be supported by a select committee.[4] After receiving Government support at second reading, it passed through all stages in Parliament unopposed in both Houses and received Royal Assent on 27 April 2017.[5]
