The Council has taken the difficult decision to temporarily pause advertising council properties through Key to Choice.
Housing and Homelessness services are currently under exceptional pressure which means the Council is not able to meet its statutory duties to accommodate people assessed as homeless.
By pausing adverts for council homes, it will allow the Council to temporarily prioritise available properties for people who:
-
- require temporary accommodation
- are assessed as homeless and who are currently in unsuitable temporary accommodation
- have Gold Priority
- have Urgent Gold Priority and assessed as a delayed discharge from hospital.
Housing Association and Housing Co-ops homes will still be advertised.
This decision is being kept under regular review. Please check this webpage for any updates.
Please note we will be unable to respond to any individual enquiries regarding the pause of Council adverts.
