Apply for an SBHA Home
Applying for an SBHA home is easy with SBHA HomeChoice.
Before we can consider you for a home with SBHA, you must first register with SBHA HomeChoice. Anyone aged 16 and over can register using one of the following methods:
- Complete a simple on-line application form by clicking here.
- Visit one of our offices where staff will be happy to help you complete an application.
- Call our Allocations Team on 01750 724444 to request an application form to be sent to you.
Once you have registered, your application will be assessed based on your current housing circumstances and needs. You will then receive an application reference number - you can then "bid" for up to five properties each week that you are interested in. To find out more about making a bid and noting your interest in a property, please see our Placing a Bid leaflet.
Our homes which are available to rent are advertised each week on-line at SBHA HomeChoice and in our local offices, as well as in the local Southern Reporter newspaper on a Thursday.
We let our homes in accordance with our Allocations Policy which aims to house people who have the highest need for them. To find out more on how we allocate our houses, please see our How We Allocate our Houses leaflet here.
If you would like further information regarding SBHA HomeChoice, please call our Allocations Team on 01750 724444.
