Discretionary Housing Policy Additional documents:
Minutes: The Cabinet Member for Corporate Resources considered the report which sought approval for the Discretionary Housing Payments (DHPs) policy. This policy would ensure that resources are applied in a way that is fair, supports those households that are in most need of assistance and supports the Councils efforts to prevent homelessness. It was noted that Haringey Councils DHP allocation for 2018/19 was £1,594,345.
RESOLVED
That the Cabinet Member for Corporate Resources:
· Approves Haringey’s Discretionary Housing Payments Policy 2018/19 (see Appendix A) as the means by which the Council will determine how the DHP funds will be allocated during the 2018/19 financial year having regard to the Equalities Screening Tool (set out in Appendix B).
Reasons for decision
The DHP Policy has to be reviewed every year.
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. The DHP Policy has been amended this year to address the Council’s new prevent and relief duties under the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017 which comes into force in April. |
