Why are properties advertised for different Bands and Family types?
WDH is committed to offering decent homes, in a way that promotes choice, meets housing need and encourages the development of safe, sustainable communities. However, we cannot offer accommodation immediately to everyone who applies, due to shortages of certain types of properties in certain areas and large numbers of people applying for these properties. To ensure our properties are made available as fairly as possible to all applicants with differing levels of need, we have developed Localised Lettings Strategies. These look at all the property numbers and types within each of our five districts and analyse these against the requirements and housing need of the people applying for them. So that we meet the requirements of our Localised Lettings Strategies, every property will be advertised for a specific band or bands, family type and size relevant to the size and design of the property. Generally we will consider: • Older people for flats, bungalows and sheltered accommodation • Fam
