Extra Care

Accessing Social Housing

Navdeep Babra

Housing Register & Allocations Team Leader

SLIDE 6

Overview

The housing allocations policy sets out how priority is awarded and is the key tool we use to decide what priority applies to a household.

slide-7
SLIDE 7

The Assessment Process

  • Eligibility
  • Qualification
  • Housing Need
slide-8
SLIDE 8

Eligibility

To be eligible to join the housing register an applicant has to:

  • normally reside in the UK and be habitually resident in the UK
  • not be subject to immigration control
  • not be a person from abroad excluded by regulations made by

the Secretary of State. If the applicant does not meet this they are not eligible and can not join the housing register.

slide-9
SLIDE 9

Qualification

In order to meet the qualification criteria to join the housing register an applicant has to:

  • Not own a property
  • Not have savings or assets of £30,000

If the applicant does not meet this they do not qualify and can not join the housing register unless they meet the exemption criteria.

slide-10
SLIDE 10

Housing Need

Client’s have a housing need when their current accommodation is not suitable or does not meet their housing need. Some of the reasons are :

  • Overcrowding
  • Sheltered housing
  • Medical grounds
  • Under-occupation
slide-11
SLIDE 11

Who can be included on an application?

To join the housing register, the main applicant must be over the age of 18. The applicant can include:

  • partners, spouses or civil partners
  • live in carers where an applicant is confirmed to have an

essential need for a carer e.g. overnight support.

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Bidding for housing

Once an applicant has joined the Housing Register and been given a banding, they will then need to go onto the Choice Based Lettings system Locata weekly to view the available properties. Applicants are able to place three bids each week

  • n any properties that they meet the criteria for.
slide-13
SLIDE 13

Shortlisting

Once bidding closes, a shortlist is generated sorting applicants first by banding and then the length of time they have been in that band. When the property is ready to view, an officer will contact applicants to invite them to have a look at it. A Viewing Officer will attend the property and will be able to answer applicant's questions. They will note who is interested in accepting the property.

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Verifications

Whilst the shortlisting and viewings process is taking place, officers will also be carrying out verification checks to confirm all of the details of the application and that the applicant has not displayed any un-tenant like behaviour.

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Offer of accommodation

Once the applicant has accepted the property and the verification checks have come back

  • k, we call the applicant in to sign for the property.

At the sign up, we request a week's rent in advance. We will go through the tenancy terms and conditions and the information an applicant will need to sustain the tenancy. Once this has been done we will then give the keys and the tenancy will start.

SLIDE 17

Introduction Presentation Purpose:

  • 1. Describe what extra care is.
  • 2. Explain who it is for.
  • 3. Describe Hillingdon’s extra care

schemes.

  • 4. Explain what to do if interested in extra

care.

slide-18
SLIDE 18

What is Extra Care?

  • A 'home for life' for people whose disabilities,

frailty or health needs make ordinary housing unsuitable.

  • Self-contained flats with own front door.
  • Main difference from other types of sheltered

housing: 24 hour care is available on site 365 days a year.

slide-19
SLIDE 19

Benefits of Extra Care

  • It’s a realistic alternative to going into a care home.
  • You will have your own front door - you decide who

comes in.

  • Couples and friends can still live together.
  • It offers you a safe and secure home that supports

you with any disability you may have.

  • You get support to keep your independence.
  • You can join in social activities - or you can be

private.

slide-20
SLIDE 20

Who is Extra Care for?

  • People aged 65 or over, or over 55 in exceptional

circumstances

  • People who have a completed community care

assessment that identifies both housing and social care needs, e.g. a disability or mental health need.

  • People who are currently a borough resident.
  • People with savings or assets below £30,000.

Allocations made by a joint panel of housing and social care representatives

agreement with the housing provider - either Paradigm Housing Group or the Council.

  • Service Charges – For example, communal

facilities-related costs, six meals a week (Grassy Meadow Court/Park View Court).

  • Utility Charges – For example, electricity and water.
  • Council Tax – Speaks for itself
slide-22
