Newcastle housing
To apply for social housing in the Borough of Newcastle Under Lyme, you will need to complete an online application form on the Newcastle Housing Association website.
When they have received your electric form, housing will make an assessment of your circumstances and award the appropriate banding. As a care leaver you will get priority banding.
The following will also need to be uploaded and completed by your personal advisor.
- Supporting letter to detail your care leaver status
- Supported accommodation move on form
You will need to upload all the required proof. This will include ID, bank statements and proof of benefits/income. Once you have provided supporting evidence and received confirmation of your registration, you will be able to start bidding on properties.
Note: Please be advised that new properties are being advertised each year, and you can place up to three bids at any one time.
You can also set up property alerts to receive an email when a property in your required area is advertised, to remind you to log into the site and bid.
Remember
- Ensure all documents are uploaded
- Make sure your banding is correct
- Attend all appointments and answer phone calls to housing
Note: Be open minded to different areas. Work with your personal advisor to get the best outcome.
