Decision:
As detailed in the recommendations.
Minutes:
The Cabinet Member for Housing introduced a report which sought approval to implement the Single Access Route to Housing (SARTH) Project locally, the development of a Housing solutions service and to continue to engage with the project across the North East Wales sub region.
The overall aim of SARTH was to simplify access to a range of affordable housing options which was transparent, legal, efficient and accessible to all sections of the community. The SARTH policy not only included a revised allocation policy but also included some changes to the way the register was currently managed, such as, moving towards providing advice on realistic housing options.
Cabinet Members welcomed the proposals to implement a Single Access Route to Housing Project locally.
RESOLVED:
(a) That the new Allocations Policy for Flintshire County Council, as shown in Appendix 1 of the report, be approved;
(b) That the phased implementation of the new Allocations Policy and Housing Solutions Service in Flintshire as detailed in the project plan, as shown in Appendix 2 of the report, be approved; and
(c) That the continued involvement in the regional project work to the benefit of Flintshire residents be supported.
