Apply for housing
If you are looking for an affordable home to buy or rent, then you can view all of the social housing options across South Worcestershire on our Housing For You scheme.
The scheme allows you to search and bid for suitable properties on our Choice Based Lettings Scheme. Properties are advertised by Registered Providers on a weekly basis.
Housing For You is an online system which means you need to apply online, using a computer, laptop, tablet or smart phone. If you do not have access to the internet, you can use the public computers with internet access in libraries in our local areas. You may need to book so please contact your library to check in advance.
If you are ready to apply then please click or tap on the button below.

How homes are allocated
We do not own any properties, they are all owned by Registered Providers who allocate homes based on the South Worcestershire Allocations Policy. This policy makes sure people are allocated their home fairly, based on how quickly they need to move.

We review our policy regularly to make sure it is fair and meets the needs of people who live in the area. Our latest policy review was in August 2020 and we gave people the opportunity to talk to us about the changes we wanted to make.
