Issue details

This report seeks approval to extend the Transitional Landlord Service support contract, provided by South Yorkshire Housing Association for a period from 1 December 2017 to 30 November 2019, under the current terms of the contract units to meet resources available and to provide an alternative offer for care leavers who need supported accommodation. The extension in the contract should have been completed in November 2017, however this was paused because the Council wanted to re-look at cost and utilisation of the service. This pause has enabled the Council to negotiate further savings to ensure that it could afford to fund the contract within available resources and to extend the provisions of the contract to meet strategic needs.
