Key provisions included the introduction of the right to manage for tenants of social housing, changes which tackled anti-social behaviour in council properties, and measures to streamline the housing allocation and homelessness processes. The legislation also aimed to reduce homelessness by clarifying local authorities' duties and responsibilities, ensuring an equitable approach to accommodating vulnerable individuals and families seeking housing assistance.
