Deputy Sam Mézec , Minister for Housing BY EMAIL
20th February 2025
Dear Minister,
Quarterly Hearing – follow up
Thank you for attending the Quarterly Hearing held on 12th February 2025. As result of the information provided the Panel would like to request further information in the following areas.
- The Panel asked you to provide more information on the discussions and input that you have had in encouraging right-sizing and providing homes designed for Jersey's ageing population.
In addition to the engagement with the parishes which you mentioned in your answers to the Panel could you please outline:
• What further influence you have in your remit as Minister for Housing in ensuring that the plans for provision of homes suit the Island's ageing demographic.
• Specific examples of work which policy officers have been asked to produce in relation to this provision.
- Please could you provide further information on the progress made on the Supporting Sustainable Tenancy scheme.
- Please provide further details of the progress of the work being undertaken by the Minister with the Minister for Children and Families and Andium Homes to ensure that young people who have no parental support and do not have experience of living in care (and therefore supported through other schemes) have adequate support to access suitable accommodation.
The Panel looks forward to receiving your response within five working days of receipt of this letter.
Yours sincerely,
Deputy Tom Coles
Vice Chair, Environment, Housing and Infrastructure Panel
