Find out how to apply for an affordable home and what happens when you do.
If you are looking for an affordable home in the Harrogate area, you can apply for social housing through our choice based and county wide partnership scheme, North Yorkshire Home Choice.
This process applies whether you are new to applying for social housing or previously applied under our old Homes Online scheme, which is no longer available.
Once registered with the scheme, your application will be assessed against the North Yorkshire Home Choice Allocations Policy, and you will be placed in a banding which will consider your individual circumstances. We will contact you within six weeks with information about your banding and how to bid on properties.
You will have the ability to choose from a list of available properties to rent across the county, not just in the Harrogate area. These will be affordable homes owned by us (council houses) or registered providers (housing associations).
Properties are advertised on the system on a weekly basis with offers made to those in highest housing need.
