Revisions to the Housing Assistance Policy

 

 

The Housing Assistance Policy sets out how the Council delivers and funds, through the Better Care Fund, a range of discretionary help to support and promote independent living and improve housing conditions for disabled people and older people on low income living in rented and owner-occupied homes.

The policy has not been updated for over 10 years.

 

This report seeks approval for a comprehensive range of updates and improvements that will complement other policies related to housing and social care in the borough and provide opportunities to improve services to our residents.
