The new housing allocations policy was agreed following the consultation process.
We are implementing the new policy from 16 May 2025.
Everyone currently registered with an active housing application through BFC My Choice will be invited to re-apply and will be notified in due course.
The new housing allocation policy was agreed earlier this year following the consultation process. We will implement the new policy later this year, when the IT system has been updated.
Everyone currently registered with an active housing application through BFC My Choice will be invited to re-apply and will be notified in due course.
We will also advertise on BFC My Choice when we are in a position to begin the new process. Work is continuing in the background to complete this activity. The housing team are also working with our current housing allocation policy and assisting customers with enquiries.
