If you need to move home because of a health problem or to get support, we can help by carrying out an assessment of your housing and support needs.
We will look at whether you need a certain type of home such as:
- ground floor
- housing for wheelchairs
- sheltered housing.
We can also award additional priority for housing based on your housing and support needs.
