Strategic Approach to Housing KLOE - Descriptors and Evidence (from April 2010)
January 29, 2010
These are the detailed descriptors for the Strategic Approach to Housing KLOE
Under the new arrangements, the descriptors and evidence are only given in detail for Fair and Good levels of attainment. The Audit Commission does not want to constrain innovation by dictating what should be considered as "Excellent"
The references to empty homes occur under KLOE 1.3 on page 8 and, more significantly, under KLOE 3.2 on page 17.
KLOE 3.2 is "There is an effective approach to improving the quality and use of existing housing and promoting sustainable neighbourhoods".
The descriptor for a Good rating is as follows:
"The council is making best use of existing housing through well-integrated investment programmes, effectively tartgeting of high-quality advice, grants and loans, use of enforcement powers, and good use of its own and external funding to address affordable warmth issues and meet Home Energy Conservation Act targets. As a result, it is successful in reducing the levels of empty homes, tackling fuel poverty and improving private sector housing conditions. ..."
