Rushmoors allocation scheme is unlikely to resolve your housing situation quickly, and therefore you will have to consider alternative options

What other options are there for housing?

There is a severe shortage of homes in the Rushmoor area. Most applicants in the allocation scheme will have to wait a long time for re-housing and many of those in the lower bands will have little chance of re-housing. Depending on your circumstances you may wish to consider other options such as renting in the private sector. Interviews to discuss your housing options are available from your local Council.

What if I become homeless?

Households who are homeless or threatened with homelessness will be dealt with outside the scheme. You should contact the housing options team to arrange an assessment of  your circumstances. We will work with you to try to prevent you becoming homeless and will discuss your housing options with you. You may still express an interest in properties through our allocation scheme, providing your application has been accepted, but in most cases it is unlikely that this will be in time to resolve your homelessness, as most applicants will have to wait a long time before being successful.
