Applying for a Council Home
If you live or work within the Borough and you have a housing
need that you can not meet from your own resources and if your
current home doesn't meet your housing requirements then your
circumstances may mean that you should apply to go on the
Council's housing register.
To apply for Housing within the borough you would need to
complete and return a Choice Based Lettings Housing Application
Form. The application form can be obtained in person
at Tenterden Gateway or Ashford Gateway Plus. Alternatively,
you can contact our Housing Services Team on 01233 330688 and make
a request for a form to be posted to you.
You should then bring your completed application form along with
all supporting documentation to one of our drop in sessions.
The sessions are held at Ashford Gateway Plus between
9.30am and 12 noon on a Tuesday and Friday and you will be able to
see a Lettings Officer who will check your application and
make an assessment of your eligibility. You will also be given an
indication of timescales for receiving an offer of a property based
upon you bidding for appropriate properties on our
Choice Based Lettings Scheme.
