We have now commenced our pilot scheme for people who are able to carry out their own repairs. We have had a large number of applications, and we are unable to accept any further applications until the first few houses have been successfully completed. We will place further information on this webpage at that time.
EXTRA CARE SCHEMES BROAD MEADOW AND WILLOWFIELDS
We are advertising properties on these new Midland Heart developments for older people. For further details click here: Extra Care
Bids for these properties are an expression of interest only and shortlisting positions do not apply. People who express an interest will be assessed by the Scheme Manager and decisions regarding offers will be made by the Allocations panel.
NEW DEVELOPMENT FRIARS GATE DUDLEY (former North Priory)
We are advertising properties on this new development. All properties will be allocated in accordance with the local lettings plan.
For further details click here: Friars Gate
You may still bid for up to three homes per week. The majority of homes advertised are open to any band, and are likely to be let to people in the highest bands- 1, 2 and 3.
Some homes are marked for specific bands, this is to ensure that the supply of homes to bands 3, 4 and 6 represents a fair share to people who have multiple needs, or who have been waiting for a long time.
We will be reviewing the share of homes to each band at least once every three months to make sure that it is fair. Overall, the council has far fewer homes available than there are people wanting them, but we do our best to prioritise people in the most housing need, and to recognise those who have waited longest.
