When a Council receives a homeless application they need to assess if the person's actions claiming homlessness are intentional or unintentional.

If the Council belives your actions intentionally lead to you being homeless they have no legal requirement to help house you. Where as if your classed as unintentionally homeless then you are entitled to receive there help with housing. To give you a quick example if you decided to leave an accommodation whether rented or owned for no specific reason and asked for help with housing this would be classed as housing. If you're evicted or your home is repossessed this could possibly be classed as unintentional. I can't emphasize how important it is to get your facts checked or this before logging an application as if the Council don't need to help you you're left with no accommodation.
