Grant funding – RSL void properties

30/07/2025 - Grant funding – RSL void properties

RESOLVED - That:
1. That the £140,000 received from MHCLG Winter Pressures funding is agreed to be used to support Housing Associations to bring voids back into use, rather than dispose of them.

2. That, working with Legal colleagues, a memorandum of understanding (or grant agreement if appropriate) between the Council and interested social housing providers is put in place, based on that used in Tameside, to specify terms around the use of this funding.

3. That sign-off on specific properties to be brought back into use through this scheme is delegated to the Director of Communities.
