Housing Allocations Policy review

We’re after your views on proposed changes to how council homes are allocated in the city.

The allocations policy sets the way the council and housing association homes are allocated.

The council’s current Housing Allocations Policy came into effect in 2016 and needs updating in response to national legislation and local needs.

The policy is key to how people in housing need on the joint housing register bid for homes through the city’s choice based-lettings system, Homemove.

With council homes and other social housing in the city in huge demand, the aim of the proposed changes is to update the allocations policy and make sure available homes go to those in the greatest housing need.

The survey is open until Saturday 8 June 2024.

You can access the survey by clicking 'take survey' or head down to the introduction phase below for detailed information about the proposed changes to the policy.

If you need the survey in another language, format, or if you have any comments or questions, please email: AllocationsPolicy.Consultation@brighton-hove.gov.uk.
