Agenda item

A report of the Director of Community and Children's Services.

The Sub Committee received a report of the Director of Community and Children’s services which provided an update on the Mais House Decant Programme.  Members noted that 1 resident had been re-housed and a further would be next week, leaving a balance of 12 residents. 

Members noted that the Merchant Taylors had offered assistance and that the Sheltered Housing Manager was also a member of the Almshouses Association Group which provided networking opportunities and raised awareness. The Girdlers had also offered assistance.  The Assistant Director reminded Members of the Outline Housing Programme, previously presented to the Housing Management and Almshouses Sub Committee, which sought to provide 700 units.  The Assistant Director offered Members a delivery update at the next meeting.  Members noted that all new homes in London must be of ‘lifetime standard’ and particularly the City of London Corporation’s aspiration to provide lifetime homes for older residents.

RESOLVED, that – the report be noted.
