Eligible households are residents who are unable to meet their housing need via the private rental or ownership markets. Residents in housing need can apply to the council’s housing register called Gateway to Homechoice. Applicants are assessed against the Housing Allocations Policy which will decide the level of need applicants have. Those in highest need will be given priority for housing.
