Redditch Borough Council’s full and formal Allocations Policy

Redditch Homes is a scheme used to advertise and/or allocate social rented, low-cost home ownership and privately rented properties in Redditch Borough.

Redditch Homes allocation policy outlines how the Council will prioritise households for an allocation of social housing under Part VI of the Housing Act 1996 (as amended).

The Council works in partnership with a number of housing associations/registered providers to allocate social housing in a fair and transparent way.

Housing associations and registered providers will have their own allocations policies which they will apply when allocating their properties. This means applicants at the top of the Housing Register on banding and date may not be rehoused by the housing association (registered provider) if they do not also meet the requirements of their own Allocations Policy.

The Council may also apply its own policies that relate to a specific dwelling or area in order to support its housing management function and develop sustainable communities.
