12. HomeseekerPlus Policy Review 
PDF 153 KB
Purpose:
The HomeseekerPlus Policy has been in place since 2016 and was last reviewed in 2022.
Due to legislative and other changes, the policy needs to be updated. It is considered good practice to consult the public and associated stakeholders on the new policy therefore the HomeseekerPlus partnership is seeking approval to consult and implement suggested changes.
Although there is no recommended or set timeframes for how often allocations policies should be reviewed, it is anticipated that this the newly reviewed HomeseekerPlus Policy will remain in place until after the completion of the Local Government Reorganisation.
Recommendations:
That the Executive resolves to:
1. Approve the draft Policy for public consultation.
2. Delegate authority to the Business Manager Housing in consultation with Executive Member for Housing and Social Care and Publica Executive Director – Operations to adopt the new policy following consideration of the consultation results.
