Housing First

The Rough Sleepers Accommodation Programme which is part grant funded by the MHCLG has a target of 20 properties this year.  We are on track to deliver these homes with a further 10 homes due to be purchased in 2022/23. This was reported to October 2021 P&R Committee.

Converting Spaces in Existing Buildings

Ongoing disruption to the delivery teams supply chains through materials and labour shortages has impacted on spend and completion of projects within 2021/22 . It is anticipated that the slippage cannot be recovered and will continue to present a key challenge in the coming financial year in anticipation of further disruption in the next 6 months.

Home Purchase Scheme

A target of 79 homes was set for 2021/22 and is still on target to meet this commitment. An average purchase price (including stamp duty and refurbishment costs) of £260,000 was assumed against the budget for this target.  Some properties are purchased for under this amount and therefore there is funding available to purchase additional properties.  These will be sourced during 2021/22 but will now complete in 2022/23.

Housing Joint Venture purchases

Stamp Duty on the purchase of the properties at Portsalade and Coldean will need to be be paid when the leases are signed for each block that reaches Golden Brick stage. All units are anticipated to reach Golden Brick by the 31st March 2022.

Variance

(1,970)

Fire Safety

Sprinklers - (£1.200m) The response from resident consultation and the likely impact of the draft Building Safety Bill requires the council to review how to best proceed with the proposed sprinkler installation at 2 properties. The works undertaken on this project so far have identified some of the resident, leasehold and technical challenges with the proposed project. This will be reported through to a future Housing Committee alongside the implementation of the draft Building Safety Bill.
Doors - (£0.520m) Revised timescales in mobilisation of the new contract, delays in materials for manufacturing (driver shortages) and greater demand for certified fire doors (due to the forthcoming Building Safety Bill) has resulted in an anticipated reduced spend for 2021/22.
General - (£0.250m) A change in the contractor planned start date means that there will be a reduced spend against this budget.
