Home-Options gives you more choice about where you want to live. In the past your Council or landlord decided where and when you would be offered a home. Now you will have the chance to choose.
Existing Council, and Housing Association tenants who would like to transfer to a home can use Home-Options to find one. This also includes homeseekers who are people on the housing register or who are homeless.
Every fortnight Home-Options produces a free property sheet, which advertises most of the available Council and Housing Association homes. You can look at the adverts and decide whether you want to be considered for any of the properties. You express your interest in properties by making a bid for them.
A summary of who can bid for properties and how to bid can be found on this website in Scheme Guide Section.
To get a new home you will have to bid for a property that is advertised. The Councils and Housing Associations in the Home-Options scheme will not allocate empty properties to people who have not bid through the Home-Options scheme.
Home-Options gives you more choice about where you want to live.
It also gives you a better idea of what is available in your area.
In each edition you can see how homes in the previous bidding cycles were let by turning to the feedback page. You can also see what level of priority the successful bidder had and how long they waited for a new home.
If you would like to find out more about Home-Options, or how to use Home-Options to bid for a home you should contact your existing landlord or housing department.
