Consultation has concluded
Working closely with housing association partners, the Council has recently completed a review of the Common Allocation Policy. As a result of the review findings, the Council is now proposing to introduce a series of amendments which will help address the pressures created by the housing crisis and improve the rehousing process by adopting a choice based lettings approach.
Why are we consulting?
In response to increasing numbers of people presenting as homelessness to the Council over the last few years and the resultant pressure on providing suitable temporary accommodation to meet its homelessness duties, the Council decided to undertake a large-scale review of the Common Allocation Policy
