I thank our guests for their responses so far.

Let us look specifically at head 5, new section 20A(1) opens with the words "In order to be eligible to be assessed". That gives the impression there is now two phases to the assessment. The first one is a residency assessment. If one makes it through the residency assessment, depending on which category, of which there are more than five listed, then one will have one's social housing need assessed. Is it correct to say there will be a preliminary residency assessment first and if one passes then one will have one's social housing needs assessment?
