Assisted choice for homeless households scheme
The Choice Based Lettings scheme does not apply to those homeless households where the Council has accepted a full, statutory housing duty. Instead, we will directly make one suitable offer of accommodation under the assisted choice for homeless households scheme. This is likely to be an offer of accommodation in the private rented sector.
This scheme applies to all those in temporary accommodation, in bed and breakfast accommodation and those who are 'homeless at home'.
If the household refuses the one suitable offer, then the Council will discharge its statutory duty, meaning no further offer of accommodation will be made. The household will be expected to make their own arrangements for housing as they will be unable to remain in the temporary accommodation or bed and breakfast accommodation.
