WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOUSING BY SENATOR S.C. FERGUSON
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 22nd OCTOBER 2013
Question
What are the services which the Department must supply as required and specified by
statute (with references)? Answer
I would remind members that in accordance with the vote on P.33, The Reform of Social Housing in Jersey and R.15, which set out our Full Business case for transformation, the Housing Department is to be incorporated in 2014. Our aim will continue to be ensuring that long- term, sustainable and affordable housing is provided to meet the needs of all residents.
The Housing Company will be responsible for managing the landlord services for our customers with the policy function remaining with the States. Members will be aware that the Strategic Housing Unit has now been established to look at Island wide housing strategy and a new regulatory framework. It will be the role of the Strategic Housing Unit to bring forward proposals for new laws and legislations that may come out of this process.
