Apply for social housing

We’re committed to providing social and affordable housing in the borough to those in most need. We want to ensure you have the best chance of sustaining your tenancy.

We manage a choice-based lettings system on our Moving with Dacorum website. On the site we advertise all social and the majority of affordable housing options. This includes stock held by us and housing associations (also known as registered providers).

Social housing is affordable accommodation for those who cannot afford to buy their own homes or rent privately. It's also for those who have specialist housing needs such as a disability or higher support need.

There is a shortage of social housing in the borough. Many people will never get a Council property. Even if you have a high housing need, you may have to wait a long time before receiving an offer of a property.
