The report reviewed social housing letting outcomes and proposed a new Allocations Plan to balance support for homeless households with opportunities for transfers and homeseekers. It recommended introducing Option 2 from 1 April 2023 and beginning a formal review and consultation on the Allocations Policy.

Recommendation
Note the letting outcomes for 2020/21, 2021/22 and the first six months of 2022/23; agree Option 2 as the new Allocations Plan, with 50% of lets advertised to Homeless households, 30% to Transfers, 10% to Homeseekers and 10% to the Council Interest Queue; and agree to commence consultation on reviewing the Allocations Policy.
Financial impact
Any extra lettings or allocations team costs must be met from existing budgets, and consultation costs for the Allocations Policy review must be met from existing 2023/24 budgets; no quantified amount stated.
