Homelessness Act 2002
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
1 Duty of local housing authority in England to formulate a homelessness strategy
(1) A local housing authority in England (“the authority”) may from time to time— (a) carry out a homelessness review for their district; and (b) formulate and publish a homelessness strategy based on the results of that review. (2) The social services authority for the district of the authority (where that is a different local authority) shall give such assistance in connection with the exercise of the power under subsection (1) as the authority may reasonably require. (3) The authority shall exercise that power so as to ensure that the first homelessness strategy for their district is published within the period of twelve months beginning with the day on which this section comes into force. (4) The authority shall exercise that power so as to ensure that a new homelessness strategy for their district is published within the period of five years beginning with the day on which their last homelessness strategy was published. (5) A local housing authority in England shall take their homelessness strategy into account in the exercise of their functions. (6) A social services authority shall take the homelessness strategy for the district of a local housing authority into account in the exercise of their functions in relation to that district. (7) Nothing in subsection (5) or (6) affects any duty or requirement arising apart from this section.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
