Craven Housing Waiting List
Craven Housing operates a housing register, waiting list and an allocations policy together with Craven District Council.
The register is used to decide who should be offered a Craven Housing home and who should be put forward for re-housing by other housing associations in Craven District.
The register operates on a points system with points awarded according to the level of need. The most important factors we take into account are:
- living conditions within their present home
- the suitability of the present home on medical grounds
- the need for social support
- living in temporary or other insecure accommodation
- the applicant’s financial circumstances
- the applicant’s connection to the Craven District
Anyone can apply for a home in Craven. Application packs can be picked up from our office.
