WQ.231/2019
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR CHILDREN AND HOUSING
BY DEPUTY K.G. PAMPLIN OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 4th JUNE 2019
Question
Will the Minister advise when the second stage of the review into key worker accommodation will be completed and what timeline he envisages for the actioning of the results of this second stage; and will he explain what research and consultation will be undertaken into the costs associated with providing housing for key workers, the level of demand for such housing and the type of housing that could be made available?
Answer
The second stage of the review into key worker accommodation has started and is due to be completed in December of this year. The timetable for actions resulting from the review will be determined as part of the review. During 2019, accommodation at Hue Court is due to become available for key workers, following the successful refurbishment at Plaisant Court.
The review will include in-depth financial modelling to take the estimates provided in the Phase 1 report and narrow them to real world figures based on sound research, historic need levels within the island and stakeholder consultation. The work will be undertaken in conjunction with Human Resources, Government departments who employ keyworkers and the Treasury team to understand the level of demand required, the types of housing required and the cost implications of providing these solutions.
