The Homelessness (Intentionality) (Specified Categories) (Wales) Regulations 2015
Section 78(2) of the Housing (Wales) Act 2014 (“the Act”) provides that when assessing an applicant for help with homelessness, a local housing authority may not have regard to whether or not an applicant has become homeless intentionally for the purposes of sections 68 and 75, unless it has decided to have regard to one or more of the categories of applicants specified by the Welsh Ministers. Section 78(1) of the Act places an obligation on the Welsh Ministers to make regulations to specify such categories.
