answer text <p>As of 29 January, figures from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea show that 40 households from Barandon, Hurstway and Testerton Walks (collectively known as ‘the Walkways’) who moved into emergency accommodation as a result of the fire, have now been housed in interim accommodation.</p><p>The Council set out a draft permanent rehousing policy that applies to residents of the Walkways who do not wish to return to their homes; the public consultation on this policy ended on 5 January and the Council will take residents’ views into account when they confirm a final policy.</p><p>We are working closely with the Council to ensure residents are able to return to their homes where possible. The Government has allocated £15 million of funds in the recent budget, which will be matched by the Council, to invest into the Lancaster West Estate to make it a model for social housing and a wonderful, vibrant place to live.</p> more like this

answer text <p>My Department supports Public Finance Initiatives (PFI) Housing and Joint Service Centre projects contracted directly by local authorities. The majority of PFI projects date back to 1999-2010 and no PFIs have been set up since 2014. They were subject to extensive value for money assessments before authorities entered into them and, in 2011, the Department ran a savings exercise on projects still within their procurement stage which identified over £531 million of savings over the lifetime of remaining projects.</p><p>All PFI projects are now operational and authorities are expected to continue to seek to improve the value for money of their projects wherever possible. The Department offers advice and support directly to individual local authorities and holds network events to share best practice between local authorities on making savings on its supported Housing and Joint Service Centre PFI projects.</p> more like this
