Progress Update

Funding secured from Public Health and match funded from Planning & Housing budgets. 11 applications received since April 2024 to date. Take up has been low and as a result the scheme has now been extended to private landlords who are part of the Durham Lettings Standard scheme. In addition, GP's have been written to again highlighting the scheme and it's benefits to patients in an attempt to encourage applications. Discussions currently ongoing with PH to explore future options for the scheme.
