We have no plans to set out a time limit. Where a person becomes homeless intentionally, that condition may persist until the link between the deliberate act or omission that caused them to become intentionally homeless and the intentional homelessness itself has been broken. Whether that has happened will depend on the circumstances of the particular case and can be best judged by the local housing authority.
