What
is social/affordable housing?
"Social" or "affordable" housing is housing which is low cost or
subsidised, and is available to people who cannot afford to rent or
buy houses generally available on the open market. This type of
housing is provided by Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) within
the county of Worcestershire. It is important to note that there
are currently over 17,000 people on the waiting list for housing in
Worcestershire. Housing is allocated according to needs and
there are a large number of high priority applicants already
awaiting re-housing.
Can you
register for social/affordable housing?
This will depend on your immigration status. It is essential
that you check your status, as it may not qualify you to live here
or give you the right to access the Social Housing register.
If you are currently outside the UK, you should contact your
nearest British diplomatic post for detailed advice about your
rights to living and housing in the UK. Contact details for all
overseas posts are available from the
Foreign and Commonwealth Office website.
