WEST DUNBARTONSHIRE COUNCIL ITEM 15 - APPENDIX 3 REVENUE BUDGETARY CONTROL 2023/24 ANALYSIS FOR VARIANCES OVER £50,000 YEAR END DATE Total Budget Forecast Spend RAG Status £000 £000 £000 % Homeless Persons 482 580 98 20% Service Description Main Issues / Reason for Variance Mitigating Action Anticipated Outcome Housing Asset and Investment 50 0 (50) -100% Service Description Main Issues / Reason for Variance Mitigating Action Anticipated Outcome Budget Details Variance Analysis Variance This service seeks to prevent homelessness occurring across the authority and improves access to support services The main adverse variance is due to the requirement to retain bed and breakfast places due to demand / delay in having WDC properties available, It is expected that the need for bed and breakfast contingency will cease later in year as more WDC properties become ready for occupancy A year end overspend in anticipated 30 June 2023 This service manages capital investment across council and private sector housing stock. Employee costs are showing a favourable variance due to vacant posts within the service. Employee cost underspend is offset by a reduction in the level of income being recharged to the Housing Revenue Account. None Required Slight underspend at year end
