Social housing
We will support you to register for social housing, also known as social housing, if we agree you are ready to live on your own.
Social housing is accommodation provided through the local housing authority. Care leavers will be given priority on all seven housing authority waiting lists in Norfolk, when you move on from supported accommodation.
You will be supported to have an interview with your local housing officer, to:
- Explore all the housing options available
- Discuss waiting lists, the 'bid' process and how long it can take for accommodation to become available
- Make sure you understand the responsibilities of managing your own tenancy
They may ask you to provide:
- Your Passport to Independence
- A tenancy awareness course certificate
- Your pathway plan
The bid process
Once you are on your local housing authority waiting list, you may have to 'bid' (apply) for properties on their website. Make sure you ask about this process at your housing interview.
