Minutes
The report provided an update on the performance and activity of the housing options, homelessness and housing register services. Attention was drawn to the award of a one-off grant of £38,000 by Communities and Local Government to establish a specific fund to prevent repossessions and to the county-wide rough sleeper count to be undertaken in the autumn.
Following consideration by the Strategic Housing Advisory Board, the Cabinet Member for Housing resolved that:
1) the intention to participate in the countywide rough sleeper count in the autumn be noted; and
2) the proposed approach for making best use of the additional Communities and Local Government funding be endorsed.
Reasons: As set out in the report submitted to the Strategic Housing Advisory Board of 20 July 2009.
