Applying for housing

We are responsible for processing applications for people in housing need within North Somerset.

We manage this process through something called the Housing Needs Register which matches people with available properties across the district.

Unfortunately, many more people join the Housing Needs Register than can be re-housed each year and we cannot find everyone a home immediately.

Therefore, it is not unusual for people to wait for several years before being re-housed.

However, we are no longer in charge of the housing stock which has been controlled since 2006 by North Somerset Housing Limited (NSH).

As a result, for all social housing issues related to rent and repairs please contact North Somerset Housing Limited (NSH).
