Changes in funding means fewer affordable homes are being built through the Affordable Housing Programme but funding for additional units may be added as more of the city’s residential development sites are taken forward During 2016/17 there were 53 affordable homes completed through joint working with registered provider partners (25 units) and through our New Homes for Neighbourhoods programme (28 units). In addition 12 permanent Traveller pitches were developed and are managed by the Council All the homes were built to lifetime homes standard and 5 (8%) were fully adapted wheelchair accessible homes.

Before

Transfer Incentive & Support Scheme (TIS) TIS gives the opportunity for council tenants to downsize or move from an adapted home which they no longer require by giving them the highest priority band for moving. Council tenants receive an incentive payment once they have moved to assist them to settle into their new home. The scheme also offers our partner Registered Provider Landlords with tenants in similar accommodation the highest priority band for transferring but without the incentive payment. This scheme is strategically vital, freeing up larger family homes and adapted homes for those in need. 76 tenants took up this scheme during 2016/17 releasing: • • •

36 x 2-bed homes (10 houses and 26 flats) 38 x 3 bed homes (27 houses, 9 flats and 2 maisonettes) 2 x 4 - bed homes (2 houses)

4 of the 76 tenants relinquished their council tenancies completely and found other housing

The Housing Adaptations Team is responsible for the delivery of all major adaptations (those costing in excess £1,000) in council and private sector homes. Adaptations give disabled people better freedom of movement into and around the home and access to essential facilities within it enabling them to live as independently as possible.

Council Housing Adaptations

Expenditure (£'000)

Private Sector Housing Adaptations Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) is available from the council for essential adaptations in private sector homes where the council is satisfied the work is ‘necessary and appropriate’ and ‘reasonable and practicable’. The maximum grant is £30,000 and the amount of grant paid is calculated by a means test (unless the application is for a child). In 2016/17 the team completed 222 DFGs, investing £1.306m, and reducing the average grant from just under £9,000 in 2015/16 to £5,790 in 2016/17. The year’s figures include 51 DFGs that were subject to deferred payment until 1 April 2016, part of a number of measures put in place to manage the spend within the year. Council Housing Adaptations Funding for adaptations to council homes comes from the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) In 2016/17 the team delivered 183 major housing adaptations and funded 350 minor adaptations in tenants’ homes, investing £1.132m. In addition the team works alongside Property & Investment teams on a number of capital programmes such as the loft and extension projects, improving communal access and Senior’s housing studio conversions, to increase the supply of accessible and adapted council homes, and with Homemove to make the best use of this investment by ensuring these homes are let to those in greatest need.

New Build Occupational Therapists and OT Assistants are also involved in the design and planning stages of new affordable housing schemes including the council’s own New Homes for Neighbourhoods programme, to ensure these new homes help meet the diverse needs of the city and a proportion are fully compliant with the new wheelchair user standard from the start. In 2016/17 the team worked with a number of new build developments including Darwell Court and Aldwick Mews which have completed and a number of schemes in development including Brooke Mead extra care scheme and Findon Road.

Homelessness Prevention across the City The Council’s Housing Options Team and partnership agencies provide a whole range of services from advice to households who find themselves in a housing crisis and intervening to prevent homelessness, to managing homeless applications. Each month hundreds of households seek advice and assistance from Housing Options and other agencies across the city and many households need more intensive intervention that requires more detailed casework. During 2016/17 there were 2,172 households where more detailed casework was required and homelessness was prevented or relieved. When comparing prevention casework with homelessness casework for every household that had its homelessness accepted, a further 5 households had their homelessness prevented or relieved
