A local authority’s duty to house a homeless family could be satisfied by provision of housing outside the Borough. A local authority which had not considered this could not therefore be said to have done all in its power for such a family. The duty was to find housing immediately, even though the result may be temporary and not of the quality it might want to offer on a permanent basis.
