A scheme to help older or vulnerable tenants to downsize to smaller accommodation (usually a bungalow).
Who is it for?
Aimed at tenants aged 60 or over, or vulnerable tenants who are:
- living in a council house;
- would like to move to a smaller property;
- do not have family or friends to help.
How does it help?
If an eligible tenant would like to downsize from a house to a bungalow, we will:
- give them a high number of points on the housing register so that they are a priority when we are short listing properties;
- help arrange and pay for removals;
- help with redirection of mail;
- help with setting up utilities;
- decorate the property they are moving into.
