The Unsuitable Accommodation Order, which was due to be extended to all homeless people in order to prevent them being housed in unsuitable temporary accommodation for longer than a week, has been delayed for the third time. It now won’t be implemented until June 2021.
Shelter Scotland says “The policy recognises that hotels are not a home and that long term stays in such accommodation is harmful to people’s life chances.”
