(c)       That the Committee support the direct award to D2 PropCo to engage them as a partner to provide an intensive housing management solution for homeless

Manager presented a report (agenda item number 7) to outline the model of intensive housing management services provided by D2 PropCo for homeless accommodation and the cost benefits of engaging a partner for these services.

It was suggested that if the recommendations were supported by Cabinet, D2 PropCo would be invited to provide a presentation to Members to provide information on successes from other Local Authorities and to showcase the service. 

The recommendations/comments made by the Committee would be reported to Cabinet. 

A recorded vote was requested for which the requisite number of Members stood in support.

For the recommendations

Councillors: Tina Claydon, Geoff Collett, Rob Davies, Ron Davies, Rosetta Dolphin, David Evans, Dennis Hutchinson, Ted Palmer and Kevin Rush

Against the recommendations
