Home Moves Plus Officer

The Home Moves Plus (HMP) Project was established to make better use of the existing social housing stock in the Taunton and Wellington areas, and to mitigate the impact of Hinkley Point C’s construction on the housing needs of local people by creating bed spaces in the area through downsizing.

The role is responsible for reducing the number of under occupied households within Somerset Council’s ‘in-house’ landlord housing stock, thus freeing up much needed accommodation for those who need it.

If the role did not exist and tenant’s circumstances change, they could find themselves living in accommodation that is no longer affordable to them and does not suit their needs. The Council will also have less ability to manage its housing stock in line with local priorities.
