Purpose:

This report outlines our proposed next steps in relation to transition from our current emergency response to provision of accommodation for homeless and rough sleepers under Covid-19 Urgency Powers.

Decision:

RESOLVED: That the Committee agreed -

 

(i)             The next steps and moving to the next phase of accommodation so that people are not at risk of returning to the street when restrictions are lifted.

 

(ii)            To enter into contract [Licence to Occupy] with the University of Brighton for 222 units of student accommodation as move on from initial accommodation acquired under Covid-19 Urgency Powers.
