Southern Area
Housing Working Group to explore creation of Shared Housing Waiting Lists
As
part of its ongoing review of service provision, the Department of
Infrastructure Housing Division and Public Sector Housing providers in the South
of the island have formed a Southern Area Housing Working Group to work closely
together in order to investigate, modernise and improve service delivery of
Housing.
One
of the initiatives being explored by the Group is that of a Shared Waiting List
and Shared Allocations, meaning that in the future applicants may have
considerably more choice over the number, location and type of property
available to them.
Terms
of Reference have been signed by Arbory Parish Commissioners, Castletown
Commissioners, Malew Parish Commissioners, Port Erin Commissioners, Rushen
Parish Commissioners, Santon Parish Commissioners and the Department of
Infrastructure is at present exploring how to make this a reality.
During
the initial stage of this review, each of the aforementioned Housing providers
in the South will be writing to applicants held on their respective Waiting
Lists during the week of 15th February to explain how this will be
conducted.
Another
aspect the Group is actively exploring is opportunities within the procurement
of repairs and maintenance of the housing stock of more than 1,350 dwellings
within the South.
