Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

The Sub Committee considered the report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services which gave an overview of how good quality and well run social housing impacted health outcomes for local communities (e.g. access to green spaces, security, and reducing isolation), and received a presentation highlighting some examples of how the Corporation’s housing estates and staff were supporting the health and wellbeing of city tenants (e.g. achieving above Decent Homes standard, prioritising window replacement schemes, and facilitating strong community links).

In response to Members’ questions, officers advised that relationships with neighbouring authorities were very good, resulting in joined up care for City residents in other boroughs.

RESOLVED – That:

(a)  The report be noted; and

(b)  Existing work and future opportunities undertaken in the City’s estates be endorsed.
