WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHAIR OF THE COMITÉ DES CONNÉTABLES
BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 17th NOVEMBER 2020
Question
Will the Chair outline what provision, if any, exists to support single parent families in applying for, and accessing, suitable accommodation via Parish housing schemes?
Answer
The Parishes do not currently have rental housing schemes suitable for families.
A number of Parishes do have rental housing for senior citizens but these are not suitable for, nor available to, families. This includes Grouville , St John, St Lawrence, St Martin, St Ouen, St Peter, St Saviour and Trinity .
Some Parishes have provided housing schemes for first time buyers and these are available equally to those eligible for such accommodation including single parent families. Several Parishes are actively seeking to provide for further developments in the Island Plan.
A few Parishes have accommodation for the Parish Hall caretaker and this is available to the person undertaking that role. Residential property that is no longer required for Parish purposes may be advertised for rent.
