Reasons for
recommendations

1.   
To implement the council’s decision to purchase properties in
delivery of the Chorley residential property acquisition
strategy.

2.   
To purchase properties for Refugee Resettlement Programme for:

a)   
Single repatriation

b)   
10 refugee families

3.   
To enable Chorley Council to support the
resettlement and integration of refugees into the borough in high
quality homes.
 
Other options
considered and rejected
To source properties from the
private rented sector and develop five-year legal agreements
negating the need for Chorley Council to procure any additional
properties. This was previously rejected due to insecure tenancy
and possible poor-quality housing provision.
