Finding your own home, such as renting privately, is often the fastest solution for most. This is because:
- there are more than 6000 people on our register, waiting for housing
- we have to follow a legal system to prioritise them by housing need
- there are more people with the highest housing needs added every month
- even those in the highest need often have to wait a long time to be offered housing
Use our pre-application check to find out if you qualify for and are eligible to get accepted on to the register.
