Report of the Director of Adult Social Care & Housing (copy attached). Decision: (1) That the relocation of the Daily Living Centre be approved.
Minutes: 76.1 The Cabinet Member considered a report of the Director of Adult Social Care & Housing which explained that the current lease for the Daily Living Centre expired in October 2009. This provided an opportunity to explore whether there was a better location for the centre which provided value for money and improved access (for copy see minute book). The Daily Living Centre was currently based within Hove Business Park. A suitable alternative venue had been identified at Montague House Resource Centre.
76.2 RESOLVED – Having considered the information and the reasons set out in the report, the Cabinet Member accepted the following recommendation.
(1) That the relocation of the Daily Living Centre be approved.

Choice Based Lettings and Extra Care Report of the Director of Adult Social Care & Housing (copy attached). Decision: (1) That it is endorsed that Extra Care Housing should be allocated through Choice Base Lettings in line with the allocation of other affordable housing across the City.
(2) That it is endorsed that all extra care vacancies are marked as such within the Homemove publications and are available only for people following an ASC assessment and confirmation that they meet ASC eligibility for extra care housing.
Minutes: 77.1 The Cabinet Member considered a report of the Director of Adult Social Care & Housing which explored how a model of allocation could be developed for Extra Care Housing that provided transparency, addressed value for money, and met the care & support needs of vulnerable people in the city within a framework of Choice Based Lettings (for copy see minute book).
77.2 It was proposed that when an Extra Care unit became available it would be advertised with details as to the level of mobility and number of hours care that could be offered. Only those households who had been assessed as needing Extra Care accommodation and needed the level of care that matched that available unit would be able to bid for the unit.
77.3 RESOLVED – Having considered the information and the reasons set out in the report, the Cabinet Member accepted the following recommendations:
(1) That it is endorsed that Extra Care Housing should be allocated through Choice Base Lettings in line with the allocation of other affordable housing across the City.
(2) That it is endorsed that all extra care vacancies are marked as such within the Homemove publications and are available only for people following an ASC assessment and confirmation that they meet ASC eligibility for extra care housing.
