To allow up to 5 LAHF2 properties to be
purchased for core homelessness needs in PE13 and PE14. All other
recommendations remain as per minute CAB17/23.
 
 

Reasons for the decision

Having a spread of
properties for temporary accommodation for households across a
broader geographical area gives better opportunities to house
families in the area that they have roots and support connections.
In accordance with legislation. Homeless households can appeal the
suitability of accommodation provided and this reduces this
risk.
 

Alternative options considered

To continue as per the original cabinet
recommendation but this would mean the council has no temporary
accommodation suitable for families in the area of biggest
need.
