Social housing

Applying for social housing

We receive many enquiries from people looking to rent a home in the borough. Like other boroughs, we have a shortage of homes compared with the number of people who need them. Therefore, we encourage you to continue searching for privately rented accommodation in order to obtain suitable housing.

Joining the housing register

We do not have discretion to make decisions outside of this policy.

All applications will be assessed on the Social Housing Allocation Policy.

What evidence will be needed?

Before filling in an application form, you need to think about who you want to include on your form and the evidence you will need to support your application. This will be checked when assessing your application.

How to apply

Read the criteria for joining the housing register before applying.

If you're not eligible or do not qualify for the waiting list, there may be other housing options available.
