Homelessness In England
In England, local authorities have duties under the Housing Act 1996 and the Homelessness Act 2002 towards some homeless people. This situation is described as statutory homelessness.
"Non-statutory homelessness" covers people who are considered by the local authority to be not eligible for assistance, not in priority need or "intentionally homeless".

With grace and might of chivalry,
The God for him wrought marvellously,
Wherefore England may call and cry
