Birmingham City Council

Social housing is a valuable but limited resource and demand for it is greater than the number of homes available.  Therefore, to allocate housing in a fair and transparent way, the Council manages a housing allocation scheme, as it must do by law.

Social housing includes housing owned by the Council and by Registered Providers (formally known as housing associations). We allocate to some registered providers through nomination agreements. 

Birmingham City Council implemented a new Housing Allocations Policy on 18th January 2023.  A summary of the policy can be found here: Allocation Summary 2023

Sheltered Housing

Sheltered and Extra Care Housing Schemes provide support to their residents to help them live independently for longer.
The schemes are aimed at people who can usually manage on their own, but feel safer knowing help and support is nearby if needed.
