There are currently nearly 9000 households registered with Newcastle Homes for social housing in Newcastle.
Our waiting times have increased significantly over recent years which means that all applicants will wait longer before being offered a property.
In some cases, households may wait several years before being offered a property that meets their specific needs or that is in their preferred area.
You can find out more about current waiting times on our ‘Key Housing Facts’ page.
We encourage all applicants to consider the other housing options that are available to them such as private rented properties, or if you are a current social housing tenant, you could consider ‘swapping’ your home through mutual exchange. For more information click here.
