The Council’s homelessness services continue to experience significant pressures, resulting in elevated use of and longer stays in nightly paid temporary accommodation. This continues to put the Council’s financial position at risk and is a corporate priority to address. Section 5.1.2 of the Housing Allocations Scheme is the temporary sub-quota that can be enacted for up to six-months at a time. A number of options for amending and enacting the temporary sub-quota were evaluated (including the risks and impacts) prior to this decision.
