Funding and resources to implement this policy
The net capital budget for funding works under the policy is set out in the Council’s Capital Plan. It is anticipated that monies recovered under repayment conditions, or any breach of conditions will be repaid into the Housing Assistance capital reserve budget thus allowing money to be “recycled”. The promotion of this policy and assistance available will be proportionate to the available capital budget.
Except for Disabled Facilities Grants, the amount of assistance given each year will be dependent upon the level of capital resources available for housing interventions through the Council’s Capital Programme. For Disabled Facilities Grants, the amount of assistance given each year will depend on the allocation received through the Better Care Fund. Mandatory grants will always be prioritised.
