Recommendation

Adopt the proposed Housing Assistance and Disabled Facilities Grant Policy for the North Yorkshire Council.

Considered – A report of the Corporate Director Community Development presenting a new Housing Assistance and Disabled Facilities Grant Policy for adoption.  The policy would ensure that the Council would meet its statutory obligations, bringing together the different policies from the legacy councils to provide consistency across the county and within all tenures.

Councillor Simon Myers, the Executive Member for Culture, Arts and Housing introduced the report and reported that the policy covered a large group of discretionary grants covering major adaptations beyond statutory works which were intended to support people to live independently in their own homes and also to enable people to get out of hospital more quickly.  The service would be delivered in-house, rather than by external partners.

Resolved:

That the proposed Housing Assistance and Disabled Facilities Grant Policy for the North Yorkshire Council be adopted.
