Receipt of resettlement grant with costs incurred within other service areas. The income has not been reallocated as it all sits within the General Fund No mitigating action. An over recovery is expected. 31 October 2025 Budget Details Variance Analysis Variance The service will achieve its budgeted surplus None available Employee cost underspend due to vacant posts within the service. Property cost overspend due to a reassessment of depot costs charged to the HMTO. Transport and supply cost underspend reflecting lower employee numbers and reduced throughput of work undertaken by HMTO. Lower income reflects reduced delivery costs / reduced throughput of work. This service delivers maintenance and investment services to the council's housing stock This service seeks to prevent homelessness occurring across the authority and improves access to support services Reduced placements in bed and breakfast accommodation is the main factor for underspend against the payment to other bodies budget. There is a corresponding income shortfall because of the reduced housing benefit income for bed and breakfast placements. The service will minimise any overspend through tight control on recruitment and the maximisation of housing benefit income across temporary accommodation properties and Ashton View supported accommodation properties. A year end overspend. ITEM 14 - APPENDIX 3
