Brief Description of Decision:

The reason for this decision is to extend the pre-existing, approved Controlling Migration Fund (CMF) programme, funded by the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG).  Delivery of the CMF programme has been impacted by Covid-19, resulting in the need for re-profiling of the time period for delivery using existing underspend.

MHCLG have confirmed that the decision to extend the Rotherham Controlling Migration Fund programme was to be made by the Local Authority, taking into account local circumstances (see attached email from MHCLG).

The current deadline for delivery of the Rotherham CMF programme is 30^th September 2021.  It is proposed that delivery of the CMF programme is extended within the current financial year (using existing underspend) until 31st March 2022.  The final Impact Summary (Evaluation) for the programme will then be sent to MHCLG by 30th April 2022.

Reasons for the Decision:

Following the correspondence received from MHCLG, to approve the extension of delivery for the Controlling Migration Fund programme until 31^st March 2022 as detailed above.
