The Council and its housing association partners have developed a new approach to letting social housing.
Homeselect is a new way people can apply for Borough Council and Housing Association homes in Great Yarmouth. It lets you apply for a home of your choice instead of having to wait for an offer which somebody else thinks is suitable.
Homeselect is run by Great Yarmouth Borough Council in partnership with Broadland, Cotman, Guiness, Orbit, Orwell, Suffolk Heritage and Wherry Housing Associations.
Applicants for housing now only need to join one lettings scheme for council and housing association properties in the borough. Virtually all council and housing association housing in the borough will be let through the Homeselect Scheme.
People applying for housing will be placed in one of three bands according to their housing need.
Homes becoming available will be advertised each fortnight in the Great Yarmouth Advertiser, on our special property hotline, (01493) 846140 and on our website at www.homeselect.org.uk, giving details of each property and who will be eligible for it.
Registered applicants will then be able to apply for a property of their choice.
