RESOLVED: That Housing
Committee:
 

1.   
Agree to insert into the policy that any
out of city placement would only be undertaken as a last resort and
in consultation with each household.
 

2.   
This will be inserted as an amendment therefore
point 3.26 will be amended to state:
 

The policy allows the
Council to also offer accommodation outside of the city to someone
accepted as homeless by Brighton & Hove City Council. Any out
of city placements would only be undertaken as a last resort and in
consultation with each household. This means we will always present
an option which would enable the household to be accommodated
within Brighton & Hove. It would be that household’s
choice whether they wanted to pursue the offer within Brighton
& Hove. Examples where they may not want to consider this could
be it is unsafe for them to live in the city; or they are already
settled outside the city and feel moving back would cause
disruption. This will be based on individual circumstances, but
where a household         choose the option within Brighton & Hove, this
will be the option we prioritise.
