Documentation needed help

pop37

Not sure I've put this in the right place. Asking for a friend, honestly.
They need to get hold of a family members (B) statement of homelessness for a court case that is going to happen. B is not going to give this document or swear it again so this document is needed. Does anyone know how it can be got through correct channels. A solicitor is involved but the next appointment is not for a week.
Any help is appreciated.

There's no such thing as an official statement of homelessness.

B went into the housing association and told them she was homeless and it is that paperwork that is needed as she admitted something on there that impacts a court case, another family member (C) who is a minor was with her and repeated this information.

As I said, there is no such thing as an official statement of homelessness.


The Housing Association form 'might' have that information. However if it impacts a court case, simply get a witness from the person who took the statement.


I think you need to give more detail on the nature of this court case.

Wow, that's not a 'court case' in the typical meaning, I thought this was a criminal matter.


What possible reason could anyone need this?


I suspect you are barking up completely the wrong tree, but give some detail maybe someone can assist.

Problem is I cant go into too much detail.

Give a broad example, or send a message. It's difficult to advise properly.


I think you will not be getting a copy of this form is the short version, but there may be other things which can be done

There are five tests of homelessness that someone has to fulfil in order to get help from the local authority. I can elaborate if required.
Can't see how anyone other than that individual could get such a declaration.

Please elaborate, I'm out of my knowledge area here.

Have you (or your relation) spoken to Shelter? They would probably be able to help with whatever is required.
