Decision Maker: Cabinet member for community wellbeing

Outcome:

Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: Yes

Purpose: To consider the proposed Household Support Fund 6 Scheme.

Content: To consider the proposed Household Support Fund 6 Scheme. (1)  To approve the Local Authority’s Household Support Fund 6 Scheme.   (2)  To grant the Assistant Director of Revenues and Benefits delegated authority, to implement, and if necessary, amend the Policy (in consultation with the Leader). Such delegated authority will include any measures necessary for or incidental to its management and administration. This is an extension of previous Household Support Funds and needs to be implemented as a matter of urgency and so executive approval for the scheme is being sought from the Lead Member. The Lead Member is being asked to authorise the Assistant Director of Revenues and Benefits to implement and administer the scheme as there is no existing officer delegation in place. The Council could choose not take part in the scheme, but this could lead to Lewes District residents not being able to benefit.

Date of Decision: December 6, 2024
