lettings scheme reaches 1000th milestone
MORE than 1,000 families and individuals have found their new homes through Home Choice Lincs – the regional lettings scheme launched just eight months ago.
Home Choice Lincs was created through the collaboration of North East Lincolnshire and North Lincolnshire Councils, plus local housing providers Shoreline Housing Partnership, North Lincolnshire Homes and L&H Homes.
Every home belonging to one of the housing providers is advertised at www.homechoicelincs.org.uk and in local housing offices as soon as they become available for letting.
In the eight months since its launch, well over 10,000 people have signed up to the scheme and earlier this month the 1,000th home was let.
“It’s fantastic that the scheme is proving to be so successful. Over 1,000 families and individuals have proved that by gaining quick and easy access to a greater range of properties they can take an active role in finding a new home and deciding where they want to live.”
Shoreline chief executive Tony Bramley
Home Choice Lincs is an online scheme and is a much fairer and faster way for people to get affordable homes for rent with registered social landlords.
Every week, all available homes for rent are advertised online and in housing and council offices. People on the register can then bid for any home they are eligible for, regardless of whether it is in North or North East Lincolnshire.
People can bid for up to three homes every week. Homes are then offered to those bidders who have the highest level of housing need and have been on the waiting list for the longest period of time.
The quickest and easiest way of registering with the new scheme is to log onto www.homechoicelincs.org.uk
