Application for Housing Assistance should be made to your local Public Services Centre.
You can apply for Local Authority Housing if you are in need of housing and cannot afford it from your resources. In assessing your application, the Local Authority will consider such factors as household size, household income, your present accommodation (if any), the condition of that accommodation, and any special circumstances including age, disability, medical circumstances etc.
Houses are allocated in accordance with the Council’s Allocation Scheme to applicants in order of priority, taking all circumstances into account.
The purpose of this scheme is to provide a means of prioritising applicants for re-housing when Council dwellings are being allocated to persons whose need has already been established through their inclusion in the most recent Housing Assessment or if the Housing Authority accepts them for inclusion in the next assessment in accordance with their agreed policy.
The rents are related to your ability to pay.
