This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.
Reason for urgency:
Due to the urgent nature of the evacuation and UK relocation programme involving Afghan families there has been an urgent need to apply for grant funding under the Resettlement Scheme in order to support families being relocated in Brent. Given the overall level of funding advance notice would usually have been provided on the Forward Plan which has needed to be waived on this ocassion due to speed at which families are needing to be placed in the borough. There is also a need to immediately implement the decision requiring a waiver of call-in to enable the application to be submitted and funding to be allocated in order to support the relocated families settle as quickly as possible.
