How to apply to Home Options
We have more people on our housing register than properties available, therefore it is not possible to re-house everyone who applies and it may take a significant amount of time for those that we do re-house.
Please read our guide to applying online (PDF) [211KB] and provide as much information as possible so that your application can be dealt with quickly.
Please note that housing associations may charge rent in advance.
