Why wait YEARS on the Housing Register, when you can be supported to find your OWN home in the Private Rented Sector? For more information please visit Help to Find Your Own Home
Social Housing is in great demand and very short supply. Regrettably, even people in the greatest need often face a delay of several years before they get housed.
- In the last 12 months, we let 2,700 properties, representing just 7% of the 36,500 applicants on the housing register. Less than half of the properties available had more than one bedroom.
- Please view our average waiting time and recent let information.
- To help secure accommodation as quickly as possible, it is important that you consider alternative housing options, including renting privately. For more information on this, please visit Alternative Housing Options.
- Current social housing tenants are advised to pursue a mutual exchange. Please visit Homeswapper to register.
