It was largely thanks to Nick’s campaign that the Local connection in the Housing Act 1996 was amended by the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008. Previously hundreds of former soldiers and their families were deprived of homes because they were regarded as having no connection with the place where they lived while in the army. They suffered at the hands of local authorities and housing associations as a result of their itinerant life, moving from base to base. In the past local authorities had no obligation to help.
