Association vacancies will be advertised online at http://www.homechoiceplus.org.uk/
and in Council and Housing Associations
offices.
When you apply to join the scheme you will be given a
registration number and your application will be banded (Gold Plus,
Gold, Silver Plus, Silver, Bronze Plus or Bronze) according to your
housing need.
If you see a property you like, that you qualify for and would
like to be considered for, you 'bid' for it. This can be done
in a number of ways, such as: -
You can check which properties will be advertised each week:

Each week you will be able to bid for a maximum of three
properties. At the end of the bidding cycle the applicant
with the longest waiting time and the greatest housing need will be
allocated the property.
We have two sections that cover a wide range of housing issues
and both sections work together to provide an efficient service to
our customers
Housing Services
We deal with the housing waiting list, which anyone can apply
to, and are here to help if you are threatened with homelessness . We work closely with the
Housing Associations to provide the best possible service to our
customers.
If you are threatened with homelessness we can advise you on ways that may prevent you becoming
homeless. If this cannot be done we will offer you temporary
accommodation while we are looking for permanent housing.
Private Sector Housing
Our aim is to improve the conditions of homes within the
district and we use a variety of measures to acheive this. This may
include grant assistance, advice and, if
necessary, enforcement. In
particular we assist landlords, tenants, vulnerable groups and the
disabled maintain safe comfortable
homes.
