We’re making some important changes to the way we allocate our homes in South Staffordshire.
This means you won’t be able to create a new housing application on My Homefinder from 17th November.
If you’re already on the waiting list, you can continue to use My Homefinder to bid for homes until this closes on 19 December 2025, ahead of the launch of our new lettings system in February.
You can find more information about this change and your options, on this page.
Why we’re making this change
Our review found that the number of people on the housing list is much greater than the number of homes that become available each year.
To make sure that housing is allocated fairly and that those most in need are supported first, we’re introducing a new system.
What are your options?
To apply for housing through South Staffordshire Council, please check your eligibility in the first instance by using their housing eligibility checker.
Homes Available Now – you will be able to search for immediately available properties on our website. These homes are open to all customers and are let on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are interested in one of these properties or in joining a waiting list, you’ll need to act quickly as our waiting lists and available now properties are in high demand and often close again very quickly. You can use the ‘Save A Search’ option to sign up for email alerts when new homes and waiting lists become available.
We’ll share further updates about this change, on this page.
