Choice Based Lettings

Hampshire Home Choice

 

The way in which housing association homes in the borough are allocated has undergone a significant change. The goverment has asked all councils to introduce Choice Based Lettings by 2010. Choice Based Lettings requires all vacant housing association properties to be advertised and will invite customers from the Havant Housing Register

Allocation Framework >>

 

Hampshire Home Choice is a sub-regional partnership that is made up of:

  • Havant Borough Council
  • East Hampshire District Council
  • Winchester City Council

Once implemented Hampshire Home Choice will:

  • Provide a single system of allocations across the three Councils
  • Provide a system that customers can understand and which is both open and fair
  • Increase the sustainability of local communities
  • Facilitate genuine opportunities for mobility across the sub-region
  • Assist customers in the highest assessed need and reduce homelessness
  • Ensure that vulnerable customers are supported in being able to participate in the scheme

Consultation

 

Consultation with customers and stakeholders is now underway and will continue until Spring 2009.

 

The consultation will be carried out as follows:

  • Newsletters for Housing Register Applicants in July 2008, October 2008, December 2008 and January 2009

Vulnerable People

 

To ensure that everyone is able to take part in the Hampshire Home Choice scheme a number of measures will be put in place to protect vulnerable people from being disadvantaged. We will:

  • Provide appropriate advice and assistance
  • Translate key documents where necessary
  • Provide information in alternative formats where necessary. A 'Browse Aloud Feature' will also be included on the Hampshire Home Choice website
  • Develop partnership working with support agencies 
  • Undertake monitoring and regular reviews of the sub-regional Allocations Framework 
  • Offer assistance to customers who require additional help with the scheme
  • Implement a full monitoring system to ensure vulnerable people are using the scheme successfully

More details on the vulnerability statement will be published shortly
