• The needs of those who have particular housing requirements are currently being assessed in partnership with the Council’s Social Work Services and those Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) who currently provide housing in the area for people with particular needs. There are specific issues in relation to the provision of housing for older people and for people with physical disabilities. • Most of the existing housing stock for older people was built in the 1970s and 80s when housing expectations were quite different to what they are today. Social and public health policy is now to enable people with additional needs to be cared for in their own homes and the significant developments in recent years in assistive technology now makes this a more attractive option for many older people than moving to some form of specialist housing. This change will need to be reflected in the next LHS. • Although the majority of older people in the future may be enabled to continue to live in their current home, there will still be a need for specialist provision for those whose home cannot be made safe or comfortable for them and for those who prefer to live in accommodation in a group setting where they can benefit from additional security and social interaction with people of their own generation. Clearly, finding a new balance of housing provision for older people is an issue that will need to be explored in the coming year as the new LHS is developed. In this context, there will be a need to consider how well the existing housing stock for older people meets needs now and has the potential to meet changing needs in the future. It is anticipated that the 2012-17 SHIP will identify a requirement for an element of stock reconfiguration in respect of Housing with Care. • In 2009-10, the Council received £9.134m of funding from the Scottish Government’s core Affordable Housing Investment Programme (AHIP) which allowed the completion of 123 new affordable homes. A further 27 affordable homes were delivered through the Mortgage to Rent scheme (MTR) and the Open Market Shared Equity Pilot scheme (OMSE). • The Council’s core AHIP funding allocation for 2010-11 is £5.341m which has, to date, allowed the completion of 90 new affordable homes. A further 26 new homes are currently under construction and will be completed by the end of this financial year. • The Council has completed 12 new affordable homes this year as part of the Council’s New Build Programme and a further 60 homes are currently under construction. • A further 18 affordable homes have been delivered so far this year through the Mortgage to Rent scheme and the Open Market Shared Equity Pilot scheme. • The Scottish Government’s 2010-11 unit approval target is 56 new affordable homes comprising projects in Bridge Street, Bonnybridge, Overton Crescent, Redding and Bellsdyke Road, Larbert. 6
• This SHIP is based on a total core AHIP requirement of £22m over 5 years. This figure is derived from the 2010-11 AHIP allocation of £5.341m with resource planning assumptions based on a 25 per cent reduction over the first four years of the 2011-2016 SHIP. • Allowing for the deduction of £1m required to deliver adaptations in RSL properties 1 over the 5 years of the SHIP, it is assumed that the residual AHIP resources available to deliver new affordable homes between 2011 and 2016 will be around £21m but this figure may be cut depending on the level of savings that the Scottish Government requires to make from the AHIP. • Based on an average grant requirement of £70k per unit for new RSL properties for rent, £21m could deliver approximately 300 new social rented homes over the 5 year period of the SHIP. However, as the grant requirement for low cost home ownership initiatives is lower, more new homes could be built if some of the allocation is used for this purpose. This issue will be the subject of consultation in the development of priorities for the 2011-16 LHS. • A 12% allowance has been built into the programme to accommodate any slippage which might occur. • This SHIP includes 16 partnership projects, comprising 352 dwellings delivered by 7 RSL partners. • This SHIP also covers the Council’s New Build Programme which aims to provide 120 new affordable rented homes over the period of the SHIP, at an estimated total cost of £12.07m. • As well as built-in slippage to the main programme, the SHIP submission also includes a Shadow Programme of 15 potential projects comprising 346 affordable homes which could be brought forward if additional funding becomes available. • Partnership work continues to address constraints that could impact on the successful delivery of the SHIP such as flood risks, infrastructure provision, contaminated land, access issues and so on. 1 Stage 3 funding is monies identified to assist with adaptation works to RSL properties 7
