Decision details

Strategic review of sheltered housing stock and the provision of extra care units in Hammersmith and Fulham - Phase 1 closure report

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The vision is to ensure that LBHF HRA stock is managed efficiently and profiled to meet changing aspirations and need in the Borough.

A key driver is to provide sustainable, fit for purpose accommodation that meets the corporate objective of delivering high quality, value for money services.

Whilst the outcome of the review of the Sheltered Housing Stock cannot be predetermined, a primary objective is to deliver an additional 105 units of Extra Care accommodation within our existing Sheltered housing stock to support the operational requirements of Adult Social Care. Current stock will be assessed for potential conversion as part of the Review.

Decision:

 

1.                  That the content of the CBRE Executive Summary Report and its conclusion that conversion of existing stock to the specified level of Extra Care is not a practical possibility, be noted.

 

2.                  That recommendations 1-14 set out in this report and that their implementation be agreed.
