How To Apply For A Home
Applying For A Home
If you want to apply for a home, you will need to do one of the following:
- Fill in the on-line application form.
You can do this by clicking here.
- Apply at the Homechoice office in the High Street.
You can come into the office, and fill in an application form on one of the dedicated computers there. There will also be a member of staff on hand to answer your questions, should you need any help.
- Apply over the telephone.
You will need to make an appointment, so that one of our staff can call you back at a convenient time. They will then ask you a series of questions, and fill in the form for you. This process takes about half an hour.
To make an appointment you can call: 01206 282300 or 01206 282553.
