Outcomes

Please note this consultation is closed

The purpose / background

Our current Housing Allocation Policy was introduced in 2013 and is now being reviewed.  We are not proposing major changes, but we are considering what to do so we can make sure the system is making the best use of what homes are available and that it is as fair as possible. 

The questionnaire explains what the changes are.  We have also produced some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) to give more information.  The current allocation scheme is on our website.

When the consultation closes

After the consultation closes we will be considering all the feedback and intend to adopt an updated allocation policy in early 2024.
