Council homes
You can apply for a Council home through our Homesearch Scheme. To register on our housing list you need to complete an application form and provide proof of your circumstances. Once the form has been processed you can bid for properties (bidding does not involve any money, you are just showing your interest in a property).
You can find out more about applying for a council house and the housing register.
Sheltered housing
If you are over 55 and you wish to live independently but would like the added security of support staff, you may wish to consider applying for sheltered housing.
You can choose from a number of sheltered housing schemes across the city, which all provide modern facilities. All of our properties are fitted with an emergency alarm system which allows you to call for help, 24 hours a day.
When you move into one of our sheltered housing schemes, we work with you to develop a support plan tailored to your individual needs. The support available includes -
- a 24-hour emergency alarm service monitored through the Kingston Care Control Centre
- a calling service based upon your needs
- assistance to contact other services
If you would like to apply for sheltered housing, you need to fill in a Homesearch application form.
