Could you point me to recommended guidance for applying for Homemove council acc

Hi I just wondered if you had any recommended guides for applying for the council housing register website called Homemove, if you suffer from disabilities. Thank you.

As BIS says, do have a look on your local Council website initially.

I started the process during the pandemic and there were long delays, which I hope you will be spared.

On the advice of a physiotherapist I contacted (who used to be a Community Physiotherapist), I emailed the Adult Safeguarding Team at the Council for an assessment with a view to having aids (handrails, bath seat, etc) installed to my privately-rented home.

The assessor who inspected my home arranged for the aids to be installed and also wrote a report, recommending me to the Council's 'Home Choice' scheme (there are no Council houses remaining in this area, it's all Housing Associations). I applied to the scheme but it took a long time (11 months) for me to be accepted on to the waiting list.

I try to remember to check the website regularly - property details only appear for 4 days at a time. It's all down to luck whether a suitable property will become vacant: so far, they've mostly been upper floor flats with no lift.

Good luck
