The purpose of the Assessment is to capture the total number of households qualified for social housing support across the county whose social housing need is not being met, in order to understand the level of need for such support.

The Council is contacting certain applicants, namely those yet to be assessed for the first time or who have not been reviewed since 5th July 2023, to confirm that they still require social housing support. Each applicant must confirm their requirements to the Council by completing the assessment form which has been issued (via post).  Applicants who have applied after 5th July 2023 will not be written to as their file has recently been assessed so there is no need to contact the Council unless there is a change in circumstances.

The Assessment Form should be returned no later than 23rd August 2024.

All forms returned to the Council will be assessed to ensure that each applicant has a continuing need for social housing support.  It is most important that forms are completed in full with all relevant information.

If an applicant no longer requires social housing support or is no longer eligible their file will be closed. It will be assumed that applicants who do not return their Social Housing Assessment Forms are no longer interested /in need of social housing support and their file will be closed.
