Housing Options - general information and advice

The demand for social housing (housing provided by the council and housing associations) in Harrow, like the rest of London, far outstrips the supply available. This means that people applying for social housing are having to wait a long time, in most cases many years.

As well as applying for social housing you might want to think about:

• renting accommodation from a private landlord
• finding out abour low cost home ownership
• mutual exchange (for council or housing association tenants)
• under-occupiers (for council or housing association tenants)
• seaside & country homes (for council or housing association tenants over 60 years)
• employment
• youth stop (previously called "connexions")
• childcare
• money advice and debt
• floating support
• sheltered housing (for over 60 years with a support need)
• support housing (for people who will not be able to manage an independent tenancy)
• domestic violence victims
• integration loan for refugees
• relocating to other parts of the UK where demand is less severe

We can give you information and advice about the housing options available to you.
