Changes in government legislation along with a housing
shortage led Harlow Council to review its housing register and allocation
policy. The new policy, which comes into
force this September, features the following changes:
*Applicants must
have continually lived in Harlow for five
years.
*Members of the
armed forces will receive greater priority than previously.
*Increased priority
will be given to council tenants wishing to move to a smaller property.
*Adopters and
foster carers will be given higher priority.
*The Housing
Register will be relaunched as the “Housing Needs Register” to reflect the fact
that council housing is allocated based on need not the length of time
applicants have been waiting. Read more on 24dash.
