HASL visit Lambeth council’s Civic Centre last March protesting against the Temp2Settled policy
Were you homeless and housed by Lambeth council outside of the borough in private housing?
Were you placed in band B on the housing register?
Did your housing register bidding account get closed?
Did you hear about Housing Action Southwark and Lambeth and Public Interest Law Centre’s successful legal challenge which means your bidding account should be re-opened?
Our leaflet can help you understand your situation and your rights.
Following HASL and PILC’s important legal and campaign victory in June over Lambeth council, we have produced a new leaflet to explain what this means for families who were affected by the Temp to Settle scheme and who were removed from Lambeth’s housing register. Families affected by this scheme still could face problems in the future so please do get in contact with HASL so that we can support each other with our cases.
Many families who approached Lambeth council as homeless were not even aware that they were put on this Temp to Settle scheme – many only found out when their bidding accounts were closed. But if you were housed outside of Lambeth in private housing and were put into band B, it is likely that you were affected by this scheme.
If you are a Lambeth family (or if you used to live in Lambeth) who is concerned or confused about your situation, please do get in contact with us by email or SMS/ whatsapp (details in leaflet)and we will do our best to help.
