Who should apply?
Anyone over the age of 16years can apply to join the register. There are certain restrictions regarding allocation of accommodation, which are fully explained in the Common Housing Allocation Scheme Booklet.

What if I need assistance in completing the application form?
Assistance with completing an application form can be requested from all partnership members.

What happens to my completed application?
Once you have completed an application form and returned it to one of the member partners, it will be registered and you will be advised, by letter, which band and points you have been awarded. If there are any queries concerning your application you will be contacted by telephone or by letter.
If the application form has not been fully completed or it does not provide enough information for  the member partner to make an assessment then the application will be returned to you with a letter advising you of the information needed and a deadline date for return.
Once the application form has been accepted by NHHP, a home visit will be organised to confirm your circumstances.

What if my housing situation changes?
If your circumstances change, such as an addition to the family or change of address, it is important that you inform the partner member responsible for processing your application immediately. In most cases it will be necessary for you to complete a new application form. There may be situations where an application may be cancelled or priority amended where there has been a substantial change in your housing situation.
 If your circumstances have changed and you have not notified the partnership, we reserve the right to cancel your application.
