To obtain approval to enter into new leases
for two properties in the borough of Gedling owned by Jigsaw Homes
Midlands for use by the Council as temporary accommodation to help
address the demand for temporary accommodation for those households
that are homeless and in priority need.
That the Portfolio Holder for Housing, Health
and Well-Being:
1)Approves the Council taking new leases of the two properties (49
Church Lane, Arnold, Nottingham, NG5 8HH and 84 Redland Grove,
Carlton, Nottingham, NG4 3EU) owned by Jigsaw Homes Midlands for
use as temporary accommodation
2)Approves the rent levels to continue to be set at 90% of the
January 2011 Local Housing Allowance rate for a 3-bedroom property,
with an annual review.
To enable the Council to enter into two new
leases for the properties located at 49 Church Lane, Arnold,
Nottingham and 89 Redland Grove, Carlton, Nottingham for use as
temporary accommodation to compliance with its homelessness
duties.
To no longer lease the two properties from
Jigsaw Homes Midlands and remain with the current temporary
accommodation provision of 11 units, which when fully occupied.
However, this will mean that the Council will have to use bed and
breakfast hotels or hostels at a significant extra cost and provide
less facilities than these houses do.
