Proposals to change how we let social housing in Sheffield

We are looking at making some changes to the way we let Sheffield’s social housing, to better meet the needs of our customers and the demand in our city.

We want to gather as much feedback as possible on the proposals so please spare 15 minutes if you can to complete our survey.

The proposed changes include:

  • A separate register for adapted properties, specifically let to people with a mobility or medical need
  • Affordability assessments on everyone offered social housing
  • Only allowing those with a local connection to Sheffield to join the Housing Register
  • Giving greater priority to people who need to move urgently
  • Increasing the time tenants are unable to re-join the Housing Register for after taking a tenancy

These proposals could bring about some important changes to the way we let our social housing. Make sure you have your say and let us know what you think.

The deadline for completing the survey is 30thApril 2021 (link to the survey https://bit.ly/lettingsconsultation
