Changes to Housing Register Applications

Where an applicant registered with us has a change in their circumstances they must inform us.

Possible reasons for changes:

Applicants can obtain a change of circumstances form from any Partner Organisation (PO), but this must then be sent to the PO where the original application was made. We will carry out a housing needs assessment based on the new circumstances. Examples of change of circumstances are detailed below, although this list is not exhaustive.

change of address
people joining or leaving the household
pregnancy/birth of a child
relationship breakdown
change to the medical circumstances of anyone included in the application
death of a household member
death of a joint applicant
change of income/capital
or any other material change in circumstances which will affect the application for housing

What happens next?

Upon receipt of full details of the change of circumstances the Housing Department will reply within 14 days.
