Decision:
That the content of the Flintshire Housing Need Prospectus be noted.
Minutes:
The Chief Officer (Housing & Assets) and Housing Programme Services Manager jointly introduced the Housing Need Prospectus which would inform the Social Housing Grant Programme.
The Welsh Government (WG) had requested that each Local Authority develop a Housing Need Prospectus. The aim of the prospectus was to inform affordable housing delivery, shape of Social Housing Grant programme by setting out what the Local Authority priorities were and provide a guide about what type of housing was needed in what locations.
The Chief Officer reported that the WG allocated the Social Housing Grant based on pro-rata amount of the all Wales allocation. He advised that the allocation for Flintshire County Council had substantially increased for 2021/22.
The recommendation outlined within the report was moved by Councillor Dennis Hutchinson and seconded by Councillor Kevin Rush.
RESOLVED:
That the content of the Flintshire Housing Need Prospectus be noted.
