Review of Temporary Accommodation Rent Levels and Cost Recovery
From: Cabinet - Monday 9 December 2024 5.00 pm - December 09, 2024
This proposal seeks to align temporary accommodation rental charges with 100% of the current Local Housing Allowance (LHA) rates, effective from April 2025. Currently, rental rates are based on 90% of the 2011 LHA rates, which are significantly below market rents. This discrepancy creates an unfair situation for households transitioning to private rented accommodation, where they face substantial rent increases. Aligning the rent levels to current LHA rates will ensure fairness and consistency, while better preparing households for future private renting. It will also generate £1-2 million in additional revenue annually, stabilising the council’s General Fund, which is under pressure due to the rising costs of providing temporary accommodation. Approximately 84% of households will not be financially impacted, as their rent increase will be covered by housing benefit. Support will be provided for these households to minimise disruption.
Recommendations Approved
Private Rented Sector Offer Discharge Policy
From: Cabinet - Monday 9 December 2024 5.00 pm - December 09, 2024

It formalises how the council will support eligible households in securing appropriate private rented accommodation. The policy is intended to provide greater housing stability for households, reduce reliance on temporary accommodation, and offer more sustainable housing solutions in partnership with the private sector.

Review of Temporary Accommodation Rental Structures and Associated Costs
From: Cabinet - Monday 9 December 2024 5.00 pm - December 09, 2024
This proposal introduces a fixed utilities charge for households in temporary accommodation where utilities are currently included in rent. Around 10% of temporary accommodation households are not paying for their utilities directly, while the other 90% already cover these costs. Introducing this charge will create fairness across all households in temporary accommodation by ensuring that all households contribute equally towards their utility costs.
Recommendations Approved
