Housing Reserve Fund changes Debate

Community Wellbeing - Equality & Inclusion

Option 2

The argument supporting Option 2 emphasizes the council's responsibility to care for its low-income residents, highlighting a societal obligation to ensure all community members have access to safe and secure housing. This approach aligns with values of equality and inclusion, advocating for the expansion of the Housing Reserve Fund to address the needs of the most vulnerable and high-need residents. By broadening the fund's purpose, the council can enhance community wellbeing by providing essential support structures like night shelters, thereby fostering a more inclusive and supportive community environment.
