HOW DO I APPLY FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING?
You will need to apply online to
complete a ‘Home Choice Plus’
application form. We will assess your
housing need and carry out a means
test.
You can also apply for this type of
accommodation if you are working but
meet the eligibility criteria.
We allocate Independent Living
properties to customers who are
usually over 55 or those who receive a
disability payment and have a speci昀椀c
need for this type of accommodation.
We may also request an assessment of
eligibility.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
When we have received your fully
completed application form, we will
check your eligibility and that you
qualify.
If you do, we will register your details
and send you a letter con昀椀rming your
personal registration number, date of
registration and the banding you have
been placed into.
If you are not eligible or do not qualify,
we will write to you and let you know
the reason for this.
HOW DO I FIND OUT WHAT
PROPERTIES ARE AVAILABLE?
Our properties are advertised online.
Available to anyone with access to the
internet, the website enables applicants to
view all the available properties online at
www.homechoiceplus.org.uk
PLEASE NOTE: Properties will be advertised online every Tuesday at the start of the bidding
cycle. If no properties are available then no adverts will appear. Properties are unlikely to
have carpets, furniture or kitchen appliances (cooker, fridge, etc.). Properties at Gilbert Court
will not be advertised on this website and will be allocated by individual assessment.
