New measures to ensure access to social housing is
improved for members of the Armed Forces, veterans and their families have been
announced by Housing Minister Christopher Pincher. The government has set out how councils should ensure
members of the Armed Forces and veterans who need support with their mental
health are given priority for social housing. New measures also mean former
spouses or civil partners of serving personnel will be given extra support when
applying for social housing. They will be exempted from rules requiring them to
be a local resident before being given social housing in the area to ensure
they are not disadvantaged when applying. Read more on the Gov UK website.
