Consultation process

Both YMCA and P3 have been consulted on this proposal, and both are supportive. We will open this initiative up to any low-supported housing providers in Cheltenham who are interested in helping widen the menu of housing options for their tenants who are ready to move-on to living independently in the private rented sector. This initiative is also supported by our Cabinet Member for Housing and Customer Services, Councillor Flo Clucas.

Finance Comments: Approved
