This page provides you with information on how to apply for housing. Please click on the links below to find out more about how to get a home.

You can apply to be housed with us by contacting your local authority to complete an application form for housing. Once you have done this you will be placed on a waiting list where you will either:

• Have the opportunity to use the choice based lettings scheme that operates in that area to bid (register an interest) on a property or;
• You will be placed on the local authority waiting list where you will be offered an appropriate property according to your need.
