About Your Application

There is a very high demand for social housing in the district and you can only be considered for certain types of property depending upon your circumstances and family size.

Certain information and evidence may be needed before your housing application can be assessed. To allow us to do this quickly please supply any  information that has been asked for. We will need to see original documents which you can take into any one of our offices and they will photocopy them for you free of charge.

• Child Benefit (book/bank statement/award letter)
• Disability Living Allowance (book/bank statement/award letter)
• Pregnancy (midwife/doctor/hospital letter giving expected delivery date)
• Private Tenant (tenancy agreement)

Once your application has been assessed you will get a letter of confirmation which will also tell you your banding and registration number.

If, when assessing your application, it is felt that you would benefit from some housing advice, you will be contacted by letter, by phone or by text message inviting you to get in touch with a Housing Advisor.

If you have any questions about our housing services please contact us.
