This report seeks Executive approval for the revised budget for the Housing Revenue Account for 2021/22, the base budgets and rent increases for 2022/23.
The Executive recommended, and the Council approved, in February 2021, the base budgets and rent increase for 2021/22, for Housing Revenue Account (HRA) services.
This report sets out some revisions to the Housing Revenue Account revised budget for 2021/22 and base budget for 2022/23 along with the capital programme and financing for the years 2021/22 to 2025/26. The report examines the issues affecting the Housing Revenue Account including rent changes with effect from 01 April 2022.
Council budgets are susceptible to change in the level of expenditure and income caused by factors inside and outside the Council’s control. A risk assessment has been carried out to indicate the effect on housing balances of changes in the level of expenditure and income. This can be used to estimate the account balances needed to provide a prudent level of reserves and a working balance.
