Toolkit 7
The new affordability assessment toolkit based on the Samuels and Paley Court judgments. It has been created using Microsoft Excel software and contains a clear explanation on how to use it when you open it. It can be used for: A) Assessing whether an applicant is homeless where the claim is the applicant cannot afford their rent; B) Assessing whether any offer of Temporary Accommodation or an offer of private rented accommodation made to end a prevention, relief or main duty is suitable based on being affordable; C) Assessing whether an applicant is intentionally homeless or not, where the question to be assessed is could afford to pay their rent and other reasonable expenditure.
