Homelessness Duty to Refer
The "duty to refer" applies to designated public bodies.
Lincolnshire has pioneered a countywide solution based on the ALERT portal to enable public bodies as well as our existing referral partners to be able to refer relevant cases to the local authority. This may only be done with the applicant's consent.
The ALERT portal may be accessed in the 'link' section.
In the event that you are unable to access the portal, a generic email address is available to contact the duty to refer team
The following information must be provided:
Name, organisation and contact details of the referring agency
Name and contact details of the client
Brief details of the current situation
Outline of current housing position
Future housing requirements outlined by client
