HARINGEY'S DISCRETIONARY HOUSING PAYMENTS POLICY FOR 2017/18 This report seeks approval of Haringey’s Discretionary Housing Payments Policy 2017/18 as the means by which the Council will determine how the DHP funds will be allocated during the 2017/18 financial year having regard to the Equalities Impact Assessment. Additional documents:
Minutes: Councillor Demirci considered the report which sought approval for Haringey’s Discretionary Housing Payments Policy for 2017/18. There was a change in the policy from previous years, as set out in paragraph 5.8 of the report in that recipients would no longer need to be in receipt of Housing Benefits in order to receive one off payments.
RESOLVED that
i. the Haringey Discretionary Housing Payments Policy 2017/18 be approved as the means by which the Council will determine how the DHP funds will be allocated during the 2017/18 financial year, having regard to the Equalities Impact Assessment.
ii. the recommended changes to the policy for 2017/18 as set out in paragraph 5.8 of the report be noted.
Alternative options considered
Consideration has been given to the option of continuing with Haringey’s existing DHP Policy. The policy is reviewed each year in line with the new allocation of funding; as such this option is viable; with the inclusion of the clarification regarding lump sum payment awards. |
