Purpose: This report will present the proposed revisions to the Council’s Allocations Policy for social housing, outlining the key changes and the rationale behind them. The updated policy aims to ensure a fair, transparent, and needs-based approach to allocating council housing, reflecting current housing demand, legislative requirements, and local priorities. It seeks to improve access for those in greatest need, enhance clarity in eligibility and prioritisation criteria, and support the efficient use of housing stock to better meet the diverse needs of residents.
