In the absence of the Executive Member for Children, Young People and Families, the report was introduced by Councillor Comer-Schwartz.

RESOLVED:

(a) To agree the proposals for the allocation of the Household Support Fund, as detailed in Table 4 of the report of the Executive Member for Children, Young People and Families.

Reasons for the decision – The funding released in 2023/24 and 2024/25 by the receipt of the Mayor’s Fund was to be used to fund the proposals set out in Table 5 of the report, as they took account of the implications of the cessation of the Household Support Fund, addressed food insecurity for families and built capacity for households in the future when the grant funding was unknown.
