Housing Applications Aims and Objectives
Blackpool Council has a Housing Allocations Policy which aims to provide affordable social housing, which meets a range of housing needs, advocates choice and prevents homelessness.
We will do this by: -
- Assessing all housing applications fairly and accurately, taking equality and choice into account.
- Working with other providers and agencies to make the best use of all affordable housing.
- Re-letting empty properties as quickly as possible to tenants most suited to the property.
- Helping to build and sustain diverse and balanced communities.
- Minimising the cost of homelessness to the Council and to tax payers, and eliminating the use of Bed and Breakfast hotels for homeless families.
