Accommodation for homeless children.
5.—Where it appears to F27[the F28[Child and Family Agency] that a child is homeless, the F29[Agency] shall] enquire into the child’s circumstances, and F30[if it] is satisfied that there is no accommodation available to him which he can reasonably occupy, then, unless the child is received into the F31[care of the F29[Agency]] under the provisions of this Act, F32[the F29[Agency] shall take] such steps as are reasonable to make available suitable accommodation for him.
