The cabinet will be asked to approve proposals for a pilot scheme to assist the Borough’s care leavers to find suitable, long-term private rented accommodation by offering a Rent Guarantor Scheme to those young people over school leaving age who decide to be fully independent and work full-time paying their own rent.
Cabinet resolved to agree the proposal to pilot the Rent Guarantor Scheme for a period of 12 months beginning 1 August 2022, with a view to informing a wider policy change to the Council’s Local Offer for Care Leavers, in accordance with the strategy set out in the report.
