# The Homeless Persons (Provision of Non-permanent Accommodation) (Scotland) Regulations 2010, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations prescribe the circumstances in which local authorities can provide non-permanent accommodation to homeless applicants who otherwise would be entitled to permanent accommodation in terms of section 31 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1987.
Regulations 4 and 5 set out two sets of prescribed circumstances. The first is where a housing support services assessment has identified that an applicant for housing or a person living with the applicant requires housing support services which it is not appropriate to provide within permanent accommodation. The second is where a short assured tenancy can be made available to the applicant, and various conditions in respect of the tenancy and the applicant are fulfilled.
