Social Housing

There's a big demand for this type of housing in many areas - so it may not be the right option for everyone. Council housing and Housing Association: is it a good choice?

The council, and all other not-for-profit landlords, have rehousing rules to decide who gets homes. Generally, the more urgent your need-to-move, the higher your priority; and the better your chance of a home.

Some housing is reserved for people over a certain age. You can often get a home quickly if you are an older person, but may have to wait longer if you are young - especially if you don't have a high rehousing priority.

Many people think this sort of housing is their only choice, and accept that they may have to wait a long time. For information on average waiting times on the Manchester Housing Register, click here.
