Is subject to call in?: Yes
To adopt the revised Housing Allocations Policy.
1) That the revisedHousing Allocations Policy be adopted; and
2) That minor operational amendments be delegated to the Assistant Director – Housing in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Communities and Operational Housing.
· To ensure that the Housing Allocations Policy references the most recent legislation, reflects current operational practice and supports the demand on Council services from homeless households.
· Do nothing – make no changes and continue to use the policy approved in 2021. This option is not recommended – it is good practice to update policies on a regular basis and amendments are required due to changes in case law.
