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

Members received an update report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services regarding the Mais House Decant Programme and the following points were made.

·         The Sheltered Housing Manager noted that a further 5 moves had taken place since the report was published. The London Borough of Lewisham had been particularly helpful and had allowed the City to register Mais House residents on their housing database. Furthermore a local charity had come forward with a disabled flat for a current Mais House resident.

·         The Sheltered Housing Manager concluded by noting a BBQ would be held on 12 August, with former residents also invited, and Members of the Sub Committee were invited also.

·         In response to a question from a Member, the Sheltered Housing Manager replied that the profile of Mais House residents left was generally those of between 70-80 years of age who wished to stay in the area due to local links with family and/or carers.
