Details
Our Housing & Regeneration Department are currently reviewing our Housing Allocation Scheme with some proposed changes we believe will make it fairer and clearer. For reference, you can view our current Housing Allocation Scheme (PDF, 745.88 KB) published in 2020.
Our proposed changes include:
- increasing the length of time applicants must have have lived in the borough to be eligible for social housing
- considerations for increasing priority for overcrowded households who lack 2 or more bedrooms
- prioritising existing secure council tenants currently living on estates where new housing is being built
- considerations for homeless households
We would like to hear your thoughts on our proposals.
