How we assess applications and allocate housing
The Association operates a points system for allocating its housing. This is a system which is easily understood and simple to administer. It is fair system of assessment and does not discriminate against any applicant.
Points will be allocated to applicants according to the level of housing need they are in. The Housing (Scotland) Act 1987 requires that we give reasonable preference to applicants who are in housing need because they are, for example, homeless or overcrowded, but we also give points for other kinds of housing need.
As well as allocating houses according to housing needs we also like to give applicants choices, so we ask them for their preferences with regard to street, flat position, heating etc.
