Housing Allocations Policy – Consultation

What is happening?

We are consulting on proposed changes to our Housing Allocations Policy.

What is the Housing Allocations Policy?

The Housing Allocations Policy states which groups get priority, and the procedure to be followed, in the allocation of council tenancies and social housing tenancies in the city.

Why are there proposals to change the Housing Allocations Policy?

We want to simplify our processes and improve the customer experience. There have also been substantial changes to housing law since the current Housing Allocations Policy was written in 2016. We need to respond to these changes.

How can I read the proposed changes to the Housing Allocations Policy and respond to the consultation?
