The Plan also provides an overview of services and resources, including employees and budgets, sets out the performance indicators (PIs) for monitoring progress and considers the relevant risks. 3.2 The Housing and Employability Delivery Plan 2023/24 was presented to Housing and Communities Committee on 3 May 2023 with a commitment to report mid-year and year-end progress in November 2023 February and May 2024 respectively. 4 Main Issues 4.1 The Delivery Plan for 2023/24 was supported by an action plan of activities to be delivered over the year. At this mid-year point, four of the 42 actions have been completed, 38 are progressing as planned and are anticipated to be completed by 31 March 2024. Appendix 1 details the progress on delivery of this action plan. 4.3 Also included in the plan are 31 performance indicators which measure progress across key areas and link to the Strategic Plan 2017-2022. 25 of the performance indicators are monitored on a quarterly basis. Performance is summarised below, based on all data available at this time. Of the PIs that missed target in the second quarter five of these have shown improvement over the previous quarter, suggesting improvements are being made in year.
