Minutes:

The Sub-Committee was presented with an update on the in-borough supported housing scheme.

 

Members noted the Council had commissioned Centre Point as the service provider and officers explained that this had been positive and savings had been made. Sub-Committee members had also noted the scheme was beneficial as the Council owned the properties so would reduce costs, provide greater decision making opportunities for the Council and present less risk if a provider goes bankrupt.

 

Officers explained that the Council was looking at expanding the scheme as it had received such positive feedback. Members finally noted that the scheme was for 18-24 year old residents who have been referred to the Council by their social worker.

 

The Sub-Committee did not suggest any recommendations.
