Purpose

policy to enable increased choice for those impacted by
homelessness and which will enable the Council to secure access to
affordable rented accommodation in areas outside the
borough.

Decision

officers in placing clients out of borough would develop the

residents and the local areas in which placements are
made.

the progress made in implementing the new placement policy and its
operational and financial impacts be submitted within 6 months from
the date of implementation.
