Choice Based Lettings and People with Learning Disabilities (February 2008)

Published by the Valuing People Support Team, Care Services Improvement Partnership (February 2008)

Choice Based Lettings is a recent development to improve choice to people applying for council and housing association housing. Choice Based Lettings is different to a standard housing register and waiting list because properties are advertised and people bid for them rather than waiting for the council to offer a property. Other aims of Choice Based Lettings are to bring more transparency about who properties are let to and make better use of housing stock by breaking-down artificial local authority boundaries and encouraging people to move by the introduction of sub-regional, regional and cross county schemes.
