    Decision Maker: Cabinet

    Decision status: Recommendations Approved

    Decision:

    Endorsed the Cambridgeshire Housing Adaptations Agreement, which establishes a joint strategic approach to delivering housing adaptations to ensure the best use of the capital resources available through Better Care Fund.

     

    Approved the refreshed Huntingdonshire District Council Housing Renewal Assistance Policy, which has been updated to complement the adaptations agreement.

    Reasons for the decision:

    To enable the flexible use of the BCF allocation, which will improve the housing stock overall and provide a more strategic approach to housing adaptations across Cambridgeshire whilst continuing to enable people to live independently.

     

    The new policy elements will provide a fast track system, which will enable people to be discharged from hospital in a more timely manner and will create a mechanism to resolve complex cases which exceed the DFG limit.

    None considered
