Housing referral form

The purpose of this housing referral form is to provide additional information to housing services in the District or Borough housing teams relating to an individual that requires rehousing.

The referral form should be used in situations where housing options need to be considered or to support someone to move from their current housing accommodation to somewhere new.

This form should be used in addition to an online housing application, made to the relevant District or Borough.

If the individual is not already on a housing waiting list, an application should be made in the first instance with this accompanying referral form being sent as an appendage.
