Living with friends or
family
If you currently live with friends
or family and you want to find another place to live you can speak
to one of our customer service advisors at any of the Local Service
Centres.
Home ownership
schemes
Help is available for those who want to buy their own home, but
cannot afford to buy outright on the market.
I want to apply for a council or housing association
property
Finding a place to live can be a very stressful experience and not
knowing what your options are can add to this. Although we are
committed to helping applicants find safe and secure accommodation
that is suited to their situation, there is a shortage of
properties in Newham and a huge demand.
Private rented accommodation
Renting from private landlords and hostels are the only options
available to the majority of single people and childless couples.
If you are working and earning a reasonable wage, you may decide to
buy in the long term, but most people have to rent privately at
least for a short period.
Young people
There are options which are specific for younger people under 25
years old
Older people
There are options available for customers who are 55 years old or
older.
