Reside are pleased to announce the opening of two new services - An Aquired Brain Injury service in Earlsfield and a Supported Living service in Cardiff.

ALLOCATIONS POLICY

1. In conjunction and as referenced in Reside Housing Association Ltd Tenancy Agreement ‘Grant of Tenancy’ paragraph 1.7.

2. Reside Housing Association Ltd provide supported accommodation to adults with a learning disability, mental health problems and acquired brain injury.

3. Reside work in partnership with various support providers who nominate tenants to our service. A tenant must accept care and support, failure to do so will invalidate the tenancy agreement.

4. All applicants will undergo a thorough assessment procedure in order to determine the suitability of the accommodation. The needs assessment will be carried out by the nominated support provider in conjunction with family, Case Managers and Reside Housing Association.

5. The tenancy agreement will be granted on the understanding that the applicant has in place an appropriate support package that will enable them to maintain their tenancy. The support package must be agreed with the applicant and written into a plan, which clearly defines the objectives of the support.

6. Existing tenants who do not reasonably comply with the support provided or have their support withdrawn will effectively render their tenancy invalid andwill be at risk to a court order for eviction.

7. Reside Housing Association operates an equal opportunities policy for all existing tenants and applicants. However, due to our tenants being potentially vulnerable we have a duty to protect. Therefore in circumstances where an application is received from a person whose needs may be considered to be sensitive, for example sex offenders or persons convicted of violent behaviour will require careful consideration by a qualified multi disciplinary team. Any offer of accommodation will then be subject to appropriate support arrangements and agreed risk assessments.

8. The agreed rent and Utility Charge is the responsibility of the tenant as referenced in Reside Housing Association Ltd Tenancy Agreement paragraph 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 1.5. Failure to pay the agreed rent could possibly lead to eviction under Ground 8 of the Housing Acts of 1988 and 1996.

9. Adaptation of the property to suit individual needs will be identified during the initial needs assessment process prior to the tenant moving in. Reside Housing Association Ltd is under no obligation to carry out initial and future adaptations to properties unless arrangements are in place regarding responsibility of agreed costs and practicality of adaptation.

10. Deliberately giving false or misleading information could possibly lead to eviction under Ground 17 – “ The tenant or one of the tenants, or person acting on the instruction of the tenant has given false information to the landlord which has made the landlord grant the tenancy”
