Equalities 2.18 It is vital that the LHS and SHIP take full account of the housing needs of all members of the community and refer back to National Outcome 7 “We have tackled the significant inequalities in Scottish society”. In this context, the Falkirk SOA has identified two specific housing indicators, both related to homelessness. The national outcomes also underpin the Housing Need and Demand Assessment which must take account of the different communities and households which make up the Falkirk Council area. 2.19 Local housing needs assessments (HNAs) are carried out annually at sub area level and provided to RSLs to inform the partnership development programme. Each sub area local HNA makes recommendations in relation to size and type of property (mainstream, special needs) and details the groups to whom the new properties should be advertised. In order to make such recommendations the local HNAs draw on the 2007 Newhaven research and updated analysis of Council waiting list, house sales and private rented sector rents. They also consider relevant issues relating to special needs housing and have taken account of the ODS 4 research into the housing needs of minority ethnic communities. 2.20 The SHIP 2008 Equalities Impact Assessment identified a gap in respect of monitoring the allocations made by RSLs to their new build properties in line with the equalities strands of race, disability and age. (It was not deemed proportionate, relevant or legitimate to collect data on gender/gender identity, sexual orientation and faith/religion). In order to address this information gap, it was decided to monitor allocation complaints by all six equalities strands but, unfortunately, this part of the annual proforma which RSLs operating in the Council area are asked to submit has not been completed by a number of them. The RSLs have, however, provided some equalities information on the applicants on their waiting list (Appendix 3a). 2.21 Link Housing Association, Paragon Housing Association and Weslo Housing Management were the only RSLs with unit completions in 2009-2010 and Appendix 3b: Equalities information for new build lets by housing association 2009-2010 provides details of these lets. The Equalities Impact Assessment is provided at Appendix 3c. 2.22 It is anticipated that current work on assessing the housing requirements of people with particular needs will indicate that a combination of new build, adaptations and service redesign will be required to meet needs over the coming decade. Pending the completion of this work, a pragmatic approach has been taken in developing this SHIP: all ground floor properties will be built to varying needs standard and, where appropriate, the opportunity is taken to accommodate within the design brief the needs of identified individuals on the housing waiting lists whose housing requirements cannot be met in another way. 4 ODS (2006) Assessing the Housing Needs of Minority Ethnic Communities in Falkirk 16
LHS 2004-09 Outcomes: Update 2.23 In 2007/08 a formal monitoring and evaluation of the LHS 2004-09 was carried out. The exercise provided useful information in relation to prioritising and categorising objectives in the light of policy and legislative changes and in identifying potential issues to be considered in the next LHS. 2.24 The following table indicates the relevant LHS objectives and actions relating to the SHIP and progress to date. These objectives are considered to be high priority for ongoing action. Table 2: LHS Objectives and Actions Strategic Priority 2 Objective 3 Action 13 Progress To prepare housing development strategies, which meet local priority needs To improve areas where there are high investment needs and/or lack of housing demand through regeneration activity, including partnership working and tenure diversification Implement investment / development strategies for Craigleith Road, Wood Street, Corbiehall, Church Walk, Lomond Drive, Carron Road Objective 4 Action 16 Progress To create a supply of affordable rented or low cost home ownership options in partnership with local people, Housing & Regeneration Directorate, Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) and private developers Establish targets for the provision of affordable and special needs dwellings Ongoing.

This related to the affordable housing needs assessment work carried out in 2007 which informed the need for a revised Affordable Housing Policy. This is now being updated in accordance with the new HNDA guidance and will inform the housing supply targets that will be set in the 2011-16 LHS. Ongoing. This relates to increasing the supply of special needs housing which links to the Council new build programme. 33 new homes have been built to wheelchair accessible standards since 2004.
