Decision details

Local Supported Housing Strategies 2025-2026 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between MHCLG and Boston Borough Council

Decision Maker: Strategic Housing Manager

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

To enter a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government in respect of funding for Local Supported Housing Strategies

Reasons for the decision:

Signing the MOU and accepting the funding of £43,846 will help resource the production of a supported housing needs assessment and Local Supported Housing Strategy as required by the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023.

Alternative options considered:

Not to sign the MOU and accept the funding would mean that the authority had to resource the development of the Local Supported Housing Strategy and production of a supported housing needs assessment fully itself which given the offer of funding would not seem prudent.
