11/09/2020 - Use of Discretionary provisions within Private Sector Housing Assistance policy ref: 8952 Recommendations Approved
Applicant (who is a tenant of Accent Housing)
requires a stairlift and Level Access Shower and has failed the
statutory DFG financial assessment but does not have the funds to
pay for the required items.
The Council has made use of the discretionary provisions based on
the following rationale:
1. Overall cost of the works is likely to be around £11,000
to £11,500
2. We have a 50/50 cost sharing arrangements with Accent which
would mean the Council’s costs would be halved to around
£5500/£5750
3. We would not wish to inadvertently play a part in their tenancy
with Accent failing due to a lack of suitable facilities – we
wish to contribute to sustainable tenancies and communities.
4. Nor would we wish to cause them to stop being an economically
active household simply to qualify for DFG. Such action would be
perverse and would contradict our desire to assist with
people’s well-being especially at this time with COVID still
prevalent.
5. Their financial position is not affluent. They do not have much
in the way of savings (as declared to the HIA) and would not be
able to afford to self-fund either of the two recommended
adaptation items.
6. The amount that the Council would have to spend – ie less
than £6000 - is lower than some Chorley Adaptation Grants
that we have provided to people who have not been financially
assessed but whom we suspect would have ‘failed’ a
means test had one been applied.

To note the consultation responses, adopt the policy with amendments effective from 2 September 2020.
