Our allocations policy

We aim to explain clearly how we will allocate social housing.

We allocate social housing in line with our allocations policy. A summary guide to our policy is available on our Southend on the Move website, and includes:

  • how social housing is allocated
  • applying to the register
  • outcome of an application
  • prioritising applications and banding
  • bidding

Our Southend on the Move website also has Frequently Asked Questions including what to do if you disagree with an assessment and waiting times.
