MOTION NO.8

MOTION: Councillor M. Johansson

That the Chief Executive update the Housing Online CBL system to include information on each property on numbers of applicants that have expressed interest in that property and the time on list of highest applicant.

REPORT:

A report is currently being developed through the Council's integrated housing system and Housing Online (HOL) portal, using choice based letting data, that will show details of recently let properties to include the longest time on list from all the expressions of interest received for that property.  It is anticipated that this report will be finalised in conjunction with the Housing SPC at its May meeting and then will be made available on the Council's website and on our HOL online portal.

Social housing applicants should continue to check the CBL website on a weekly basis for suitable advertised properties, noting that applicants with the applicant longest on time on the social housing list who express interest in that property will be contacted and offered the tenancy of that property, subject to review and update of their file including household income and estate management checks.  Unsuccessful CBL applicants are not contacted but should continuing applying for available properties through CBL.
