We ask questions on our Application Form which allows us to carry out an assessment of your circumstances. This assessment looks at things like the number of bedrooms you have, whether you have any medical conditions relating to your current housing or whether you are under any threat of being made homeless. Based on the information you have provided, your application will be given points which indicate the level of priority your application needs. The more points ,the higher the priority. We will e-mail/write to you to confirm the points awarded to your application.
You will be entitled to a specific number of bedrooms based on the size and ages of the people who will be moving with you. You can choose as many property types and as many areas as you wish although some property types, e.g. amenity or wheelchair users properties are designated for people with a particular need.
We aim to complete our assessment and write to you within 10 days of receiving your completed application.
In the Application Form we ask you to complete a Medical Self-Assessment if your condition is affected by your current housing. When we assess this, we look at the information you have provided us with and how a move would help the medical condition. If we are unsure about any of the information, we do ask that you consent to us seeking further information from a specialist dealing with you or from an independent doctor.
Due to being unable to forecast when properties will become available, we are unable to state how long you will wait before we are able to consider you for rehousing.
We don’t have a limit on the number of offers you will receive. However we will record reasons for refusal and aim to offer you a property to suit your needs. If however you are assessed as homeless by Glasgow City Council and the Association are asked to rehouse you – in accordance with GCC’s homelessness regulations we will only be able to make you one offer whilst you are being given priority as a homeless applicant.
If you move home, you have to submit a new Application Form and we will cancel your previous application with us. We will then assess your circumstances based on your new address. If other circumstances change, you should contact us to advise us what the change is. We will then review your application and confirm how this change affects your application.
You can contact the Housing Services Team, at our office.
