Applying for Housing
Who can apply for housing?
Although almost anyone can apply to us by filling in a housing application form to join the waiting list, there are a few exceptions where we cannot accept individual applications.
People who want to live in retirement accommodation with a scheme manager please see the page on Retirement Housing
People who wish to exchange can apply via the HOMES scheme (For more information about Transfers and Mutual Exchanges please see the separate page or ask for our leaflet).
For answers on applying for housing please see our 'FAQs' list below:
Where does Harden have properties?
Harden has homes in Birmingham, Dudley, Walsall, Lichfield, Sandwell, Solihull, and a handful of properties outside the West Midlands area. Unfortunately if you wish to live in an area where we do not have any properties we will be unable to help you.
If you wish to apply for housing in any of the area above please follow the links below:
How do I apply to join the waiting list?
All our waiting lists are currently closed at present. You can, however, keep updated with regards to the opening of our Housing Register by visiting this website at a later date or alternatively contact our customer services team (Our contact details are at the bottom of this page).
What should I do if I am homeless?
If you are homeless or are likely to lose your home within the next 28 days, you should contact your local council straight away. They can offer you housing advice and may also have a legal duty to help you. You can apply to join our waiting list regardless of whether the council can help you.
Do you close your waiting lists?
Unfortunately, because of the high demand in some areas and the very slow turnover of properties, it is not always possible to keep our waiting list open.
