No Recourse to Public Funds
The No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) Network guidance is aimed at adult social care, housing, public health and NHS professionals who are responsible for making decisions about entitlement to support or who are advising adults with no recourse to public funds who are experiencing homelessness.
The guidance is intended to assist local authorities to establish which duties and powers will need to be considered when an adult who is ineligible for benefits is experiencing homelessness, who may need to be involved in delivering support, and what can be done to help establish a long-term solution to the person’s situation of homelessness or destitution.

Where domestic abuse is happening, it is not appropriate to refer to couples' or relationship counselling. Please see the PDF below for guidance on why it can increase the risk to the victim and empower the abuser.
