Anyone can submit an application and each application is assessed individually, but in some instances we will not be able to accept you on to our register.
Some people are not eligible to access social housing or be on the housing register, for example, people who are:
- subject to Immigration Control under the 1996 Asylum and Immigration Act;
- from abroad who are not subject to immigration control but who are not do not usually live in the UK, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man or the Republic of Ireland.
We may accept and register your application, but in some instances a housing association may not offer you a home if they assess you as being an unsuitable tenant, because you or a member of your household have been guilty of unacceptable behaviour or have outstanding rent arrears therefore you may not meet the housing associations policy criteria.
