Lettings and allocations
The Lettings and Allocations team are responsible for letting empty homes, they also help existing tenants to move or exchange their homes with other tenants.
Most of the people we provide housing for, are nominated to us by local councils. We do not accept applications directly from the public.
To be nominated, you need to contact your local council. Some councils will allow you to apply if you work in the area. How we can help:
Homelessness
If you are homeless or likely to become homeless you should contact your local council for emergency housing assistance. The council will normally help if you:
- have children or are pregnant
- have medical problems or a disability
- are an elderly person or aged between 16 and 18
- were made homeless because of an emergency, for example a fire, or because you were fleeing violence
- have not become homeless intentionally
If you do not fall into any of these categories, the council will be able to give you advice.
If you are in dispute with your landlord and you fear harassment and/or eviction, you should contact any of the following for advice:
- a law centre
- Citizens Advice Bureau
- Housing Advice Centre for advice
Legal advice may be free of charge if you are not working or you are on a low income.
