Report of the Strategic Director of Housing and Customer Services

Presented by the Housing, Property and Customer Services Portfolio Holder

Councillor R Bayliss presented the report, which sought Cabinet approval for delegation of authority to officers to award Grant Agreements

to partner agencies of monies received under the Rapid Rough Sleeper Initiative Programmes. It was noted that the requirement was to utilise houses rather than hostels or hotels, and that although the incidents of rough sleepers were low it was important to have sufficient measures available at all times.

It was moved by Councillor R Bayliss, seconded by Councillor T Gillard and

RESOLVED THAT CABINET

Delegates to the Head of Housing in consultation with the Housng, Property and Customer Services Portfolio Holder.

1)    Authority to award grants and enter into associated funding agreements in relation to funding received under the Rough Sleepers Initiative for the year 2021/22.

2)    Authority to award grants and enter into associated funding agreements in relation to funding received under future rough sleepers initiative, rough sleeper funding and/or associated or successor funding programmes.

Reason for decision: The grant payments requires expenditure in excess of officer delegated limits.
