Changes to the regulations which give eligibility to housing and housing assistance to people arriving in the UK who are Victims of Transnational Marriage Abandonment, and to people subject to immigration control who would ordinarily have a no recourse to public funds condition applied to their immigration status, but that condition has been lifted by the Home Office.

The Allocation of Housing and Homelessness (Eligibility) (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2024 [“the amending Regulations”] amended the Allocation of Housing and Homelessness (Eligibility) (Wales) Regulations 2014 and extended eligibility for an allocation of housing and housing assistance provided by local authorities to people subject to immigration control who are victims of Transnational Marriage Abandonment (TMA) and to people subject to immigration control who would ordinarily have a no recourse to public funds (NRPF) condition applied to their immigration status but that condition has been lifted by the Home Office (HO). 

The amending Regulations came into force on 20 December 2024.
