Homes will be sourced across the county
North Northamptonshire Council will discuss plans to acquire 30 homes for Ukrainian and Afghan refugees at a meeting of its Executive this week. Councillors will decide whether to use around £6.4m to match a government grant for the scheme.
The plans come as North Northamptonshire was identified as suitable for capital grant funding from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities’ new Local Authority Housing Fund. Councillors will decide on Thursday, February 17, whether to use council money to match the funding.The Afghan Resettlement and Homes for Ukraine programmes have seen a number of refugees move into hotels or homes across the county.
Council papers show the government has allocated £3,234,384 towards the scheme. They also suggest NNC would have to provide around £6.4m to meet the capital costs. "If the proposal is approved, work can start on sourcing suitable properties to purchase in the main towns of Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough and Rushden making sure they are close to local amenities - something families have said is important to them."
