Applying for social housing

If you have applied for social housing and there is a change in your circumstances that may impact your application, you need to inform us. Changes you need to tell us about include if:

• you need to remove or add a child or adult to the application
• you have had a relationship breakdown
• you have changed address since completing your application
• you have started a new job
• there has been a change in your health or medical condition.

To tell us about a change, you need to complete a new housing application form. Any changes may move you up or down a priority band. If you do not tell us about a change, we will identify this when offering you a property. We will cancel your application and remove you from the housing register. We may even prosecute.
