MOTION NO. 10

MOTION: Councillor T. Gilligan

"That the Chief Executive outlines how much % of housing built by developers are they required to allocate to social housing? From this %, is it from the housing list / ras / hap?"

REPORT:

Properties provided under Part V, and indeed, all properties available to the Council,  are allocated in accordance with the Council’s Allocations Scheme. The Housing Allocations Section ensure a fair distribution of allocation across the various competing demands for housing including the standard Housing List (via CBL), Homeless persons , persons with medical priority, Transfers, RAS  and HAP transfers. This is often very challenging as there is inevitably a growing demand for a very finite resource

Work is ongoing to expand the CBL system as this is the most fair and transparent method of allocating properties. Recently, HAP Transfer Applicants have been given access to CBL; homeless households and [low] medical priority applicants are being examined with a view to also being given access. The expectation is that, in future, all properties will be advertised on CBL with only few exceptions (OAP, specially adapted for specific medical needs).
