Issue details

Delivery of 4 homes, joint funded through the Local Authority Housing Fund (LAHF Round 4) to meet Temporary Accommodation and Refugee housing need.

The Council to date has successfully delivered homes across Round 1, 2 and 3 of the Local Authority Housing Fund Programme.

 

This has included delivery of 41 homes, exceeding a combined target of 38 homes across three prior rounds of funding.

 

Following Announcement of a 4th Funding Round in late 2025, a positive Expression of Interest was submitted to the LAHF, indicating that the Council were interested in entering into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for further housing delivery.

 

This Favourable Expression of Interest is based on the standing commitment from the council to make 4 refugee homes available annually in the City (Ref 25/14/HSC).
