Purpose

Allocation of MHCLG Homelessness grant

Decision

RESOLVED: That Cabinet approved the funding proposals for the allocation of Homelessness, Rough Sleeping and Domestic Abuse Grant received from the MHCLG as outlined in Table 1 in paragraph 8.13.

REASONS FOR DECISIONS:

(1)  There is a need to secure housing services for homeless households in the district, including key existing services on the single homeless pathway. Adopting the recommendation at 2.1 secures the provision of high-quality local services to help those in need and provides stability into the first year of the new unitary authority.

(2)  The recommendation at 2.1 is consistent with the priorities set out in the Council’s Housing Strategy (2024 – 2029) and the Council Plan.
