Can I choose where I
live?
If I am in a group that might
receive a direct offer of accommodation, can I choose where I
live?
We have divided the borough into seventeen smaller areas,
called Housing Lettings Areas. You will be asked to choose which of
these areas you are willing to move to.
You must choose at least four areas in Newham. The number of
areas you choose will affect the length of time that you wait - the
more areas you consider, the easier it will be for us to help you
find accomodation.
Please note that people in the Underoccupation Transfer Group do
not have to choose a minimum number of areas.
For more information on Housing Allocation please see our
Housing Allocation Policy Document.
