Is subject to call in?: No
Having considered an officer report, and a presentation by the Cabinet
Member for Housing, Councillor Damien Egan, the Mayor agreed that:
(1) the rationale for considering a change to the service delivery
model in the Council’s sheltered housing stock, and the three potential
models for a new model as set out be noted;
(2) the proposals include the provision of a service charge assistance fund, to
assist tenants with the financial transition;
(3) if finally approved, these proposals would all see a management and
operational transfer of the service from the Council to Lewisham Homes;
(4) Officers immediately commence a comprehensive consultation exercise,
with all tenants currently residing in sheltered housing and their
representatives, regarding those three options;
(5) the outcome of this consultation be brought before Mayor and Cabinet for
final decision making before any change be implemented; and
(6) the plans for capital investment within the 18 sheltered housing
Schemes come forward separately to the consultation relating to the service
model, and all 18 schemes be brought to the Decent Homes standard and in
the following six schemes a new investment standard be trialled.
