Who can apply for housing?
Pineview Housing Association Ltd operates an open access housing list and anyone aged 16 or over can be admitted to the housing list.
Dealing with your application
Applicants will receive an acknowledgement letter within 7 days of submitting an application advising that they have been admitted to the housing or transfer list.
Assessment of Need
Applications are assessed in accordance with the Association’s Allocations Policy which adheres to the principals of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 to ensure reasonable preference for housing is given to persons who:
- Are living in sub standard accommodation; or
- Are occupying overcrowded houses; or
- Are living under unsatisfactory housing conditions; or
- Are homeless or threatened with homelessness
Applications are assessed within 28 days of being submitted and after this time applicants are notified in writing of their priority for rehousing, together with a breakdown of how points have been assessed. Applicants will not be considered for an allocation until the assessment process is completed and they are eligible to be housed.
