Decision Maker: Cabinet

Outcome:

Is Key Decision?: Yes

Is Callable In?: Yes

Purpose: Cardiff like many cities continues to experience a Housing Emergency. To make best use of the social housing that is available recommendations will be made to amend some elements of the Policy.   Additionally, it is proposed that a new Specialist Accommodation Allocations Policy be introduced. This policy aims to ensure that households with additional care and housing needs are allocated homes that best suit their individual requirements.   Before these amendments can be implemented, a public consultation will be launched to gather opinions on the proposals. A second Cabinet report will be presented after the consultation has been fully analysed and all views and comments have been considered.
