There is a great demand for social housing and in some
circumstances, applicants will wait a long time before being
offered a property. This online service allows you to see other
housing options available and other advice and assistance, 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week.
Once you have registered, and given some basic pieces of
information about your situation, the service will generate a
series of suggestions that you may want to consider. It will also
provide you with an action plan which you can save or print off and
refer to in the future.
Help is available for the individual, as well as organisations
that support people, to understand what services are available.
