Other housing options
There are a range of housing options available to residents in addition to Council and housing association homes.
This includes:
- renting a home in the private rented sector
- other housing pathways, including permanent social housing, through partner organisations
- below-market rent (sometimes called intermediate rent), especially if you are a key worker
- low-cost home ownership, such as shared ownership
- moving to areas of the country where local council and housing association homes are more available
- making changes or improvements to your current home. For example, if a family member is struggling because of their health conditions, you may be given equipment or adaptations that will help them – please speak to our colleagues in Adult Social Care.
If you are a council or housing association tenant, completing a mutual exchange or swapping your home with another council or housing association tenant.
Further information about these housing options can be found here: Help with housing, homelessness and finding a new home.
