Homeless & Rough Sleeper accommodation next steps
Decision Maker: Policy & Resources Urgency Sub-Committee
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
This report outlines our proposed next steps
in relation to transition from our current emergency response to
provision of accommodation for homeless and rough sleepers under
Covid-19 Urgency Powers. This is in order that, as current
restrictions are lifted, we are ready and have completed scenario
modelling as to how we manage out and make post pandemic provision
for this client group’s accommodation and support
needs.
Decision:
RESOLVED: That the Committee agreed -
(i) The next steps and moving to the next phase of accommodation so that people are not at risk of returning to the street when restrictions are lifted.
(ii) To enter into contract [Licence to Occupy] with the University of Brighton for 222 units of student accommodation as move on from initial accommodation acquired under Covid-19 Urgency Powers.
