Understanding local housing support
Each district and borough council in Warwickshire has its own housing allocation policy. These policies explain how housing registers work and outline the types and sizes of properties you may be eligible for. To learn more, please visit the website of the local authority where you plan to apply.
Social housing in the UK is in high demand with limited supply, which creates long waiting lists. Some applicants can expect to wait years until an offer of social housing is made. Therefore, we would encourage you to consider private rented accommodation by way of an option and a stepping stone to independence and support can be made available to help you with this. Within each local authority area, you will find useful specific information on how to secure private rented accommodation, including links to local letting agents.
