Additional documents:

Decision:

1.      That the revised Agreement between the Council and Registered Providers of Social Housing for Nominations be approved.

 

2.      That authority be delegated to the Cabinet Member City Assets and Housing, in consultation with the Director of City Environment to agree future revisions to the Nominations Agreement.

Minutes:

Councillor Jacqueline Sweetman presented the report on a proposal to adopt a revised Nominations Agreement with Registered Providers (RP) that provide social housing in the city. The revisions to the Agreement would bring it in line with approved changes to the Council’s Allocations Policy. 

 

Under Section 170 of the 1996 Housing Act, it is a requirement of RPs to co-operate with the Local Authority as much as is reasonable in offering accommodation to people with priority under the Local Authority’s housing allocation scheme. This is achieved through a Nominations Agreement between the Local Authority and individual RPs offering affordable housing to let in the city which sets out the proportion of their properties that become available to let that are made available to the Council for applicants on the citywide housing register.

 

Resolved:

1.    That the revised Agreement between the Council and Registered Providers of Social Housing for Nominations be approved.

 

2.    That authority be delegated to the Cabinet Member City Assets and Housing, in consultation with the Director of City Environment to agree future revisions to the Nominations Agreement.
