Allocated Homes
The Housing Options Manager will have day to day responsibility for allocating ordinary tenancies. They will allocate in accordance with the Allocations Policy and the points scheme.
The Supportive Housing Manager, reporting to the Head of Housing Needs and the Head of Housing Services, will have day to day responsibility for allocating sheltered/extra care tenancies.
It is often the case that several applicants are interested in a vacant property, and wish to be considered for it. There is no system which can satisfy every applicant, and be completely fair to everyone. We try to be as fair as possible, and to make sure that applicants in the most need are given highest priority.
Please remember that we cannot discuss with you why another applicant has been offered a property ahead of you.
If you believe that another applicant has been allocated a property unfairly, you should contact the Housing Options Team (details available on the right).
You will need to give the address of the property concerned and your reasons for believing that the applicant should not have been allocated the property. The Housing Options Team will then check that the allocation was correctly made.
In addition to applicants who are on the active list, other people who could have priority for re-housing include:
- People who need to move because their home needs major work which cannot be done while the property is occupied
- People who have been nominated and accepted under the HOMES mobility scheme
- Certain Keyworkers who have been accepted under Keyworker Pilot Scheme
- People who need to move on urgent medical grounds
