LAHF funding round 1/2 - Homes for Refugees & Temporary Accommodation The Lead Cabinet Member for Housing agreed to accept an offer of funding from the Local Authority Housing Fund (LAHF) to acquire a total of ten additional homes.
Please note that this decision can be implemented immediately because the Chair of Council and Chair of Scrutiny have agreed that this matter can be treated as urgent and have waived call in. This is due to the fact that to secure funding, an agreement with DLUHC needs to be signed before the expiration of the normal 5 day call-in period. |
