ECF: The H4U budget is being used for this ECF (below) - ECF reference is EC100489. This has been approved as part of ECF process.

Reasons for the decision:

Private sector housing (PSH) have been delivering the homes for Ukraine scheme for the council. Now that this work has taken officers away from BAU in PSH - PSH need backfilling to be able to deal with multiple areas that have not been fully completed since taking on homes for ukraine on behalf of the council.

Alternative options considered:

There are no alterative measures to implement both the homes for ukraine scheme and PSH BAU deliverables for residents of GBC if this ECF backfill was not hired for another 12 months. There will also be 400 HMO applications in 2023 and lots of other PSh work that means this resource is essential.
