How to Apply
Anyone aged 16 and over can apply to live in a housing association or co-operative property. You do not need to live in Glasgow to make an application.
To apply:
In some parts of Glasgow you may need to complete an application form for each housing association or co-operative you have chosen. In other parts such as Easterhouse, a number of Housing Associations use a common application form which allows you to apply for housing with several associations at once. This does not include GHA, so you would still need to apply to GHA separately.
(There are plans to develop a ‘Common Housing Register’ which would only require one application form, and would cover all the housing associations. At the moment these plans are still developing. The first stage will be to introduce it in the north west of the city, as a pilot – this is anticipated to be towards the end of 2008. The roll out across the city should follow in 2009. Details of this new system will be posted here as it is introduced.)
Your application will then be assessed and prioritised using an allocation policy before being put on a waiting list. When a house becomes available, the allocation policy is used to decide who the house should be let to.
How long you will have to wait for a house may depend on a number of factors including:
