[https://www.gov.uk/guidance/housing-statistics-and-england-housing-survey-glossary/a-to-z Housing statistics and English Housing Survey, glossary], published by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities in 2019, states: ‘ Local authorities have a responsibility for securing accommodation for households who are in priority need, eligible (certain categories of persons from abroad are ineligible) and are homeless through no fault of their own. A household satisfying these criteria is said to be ‘accepted as homeless’, or more formally as ‘accepted as owed a main homelessness duty’. Families with children and households that include someone who is vulnerable, for example because of pregnancy, old age, or physical or mental disability, have a priority need for accommodation.’
