New Allocations Policy/ Review of Transfer Applications

March 2010

Islington Council will be implementing a revised re-housing allocations policy which will come into operation on 9 March 2010.

One of the major changes is that the threshold for eligibility to bid for vacancies has been reduced from 140 to 120 points so that more applicants will have the chance to achieve a move. Severely overcrowded families should also find that they have more points.

All existing transfer applications will be re-assessed under the terms of the scheme. Applicants will shortly receive a letter confirming their new level of priority.

It is very important that up-to-date, accurate information about each household is held.
