QUESTION NO.3

QUESTION: Councillor C. Bailey

Are Homeless HAP tenants on the HAP transfer list given any priority status, given the much higher cost of their HAP tenancies and would the Manager care to make a statement on this? 

REPLY: 

There is no Priority List for Homeless HAP or HAP tenants.  As per the Allocation scheme the primary method of allocations is via the Choice Based Letting Platform (CBL), which is based on time on list.

There is no static position for an applicant on the housing list as this will change each time depending on the property advertised, the number of Expressions of Interest (EOI’s) received and the time on the list of each of the EOI’s received.

All applicants excluding those on the medical list who require specially adapted units or level access units and those on the approved transfer list have access to CBL and should continue to check the website weekly to check for suitable properties
