ALLOCATIONS SCHEME REVIEW - Extension of the Consultation Period

We have extended the consultation period of the Housing Allocations Scheme Review and this will now close at midnight on 2 January 2023 .  

Whilst some elements of the allocation scheme are set out in the legislation, we do have some discretion regarding qualification for the scheme. This includes the income and savings thresholds which we set to households applying for the housing register. This is one area which has been reviewed, as has our rural connection policy which we are proposing removing on all but Rural Exception Sites.    We would like to know what you think.  The proposed revised scheme can be found here

Bidding cycle - 16th - 21st December 2022

Please note that the flat at Norfolk Court, North Holmwood. RH5 4TZ reference 33207 has been amended.  

This is a one bedroom flat and not a studio as originally advertised.

Pets are now being considered at this scheme and all future adverts will reflect this change.

Please note there has been a change to the log in process following an upgrade on the Home Choice Website.

Password Change.

The Home Choice website has been upgraded to include a tighter security feature when you log onto your Home Choice account.

You will now need 3 pieces of information when you log into your Home Choice Account. 

• Your log in reference number
• your memorable date  
• and now an additional password.

If you are already registered on Home Choice you will be prompted to create a password when you first log in.  This will need to be a minimum or 6 but no more than 10 Characters.

The password will need to include at least 2 lower and 2 upper case letters and at least 2 numbers –  the system will lead you through this process. 

Please remember the password as you will be asked to input this at each future log in.

If you are new to Home Choice you will be asked to create a password when you register in the same way as described above.

There is a facility to recover forgotten passwords. You will need to follow the on screen prompts to do this.  You will be asked additional security questions and the reset password will be sent via email.  Please try this process in the first instance, if you continue to have problems logging on then please contact the allocations team.
