How to Apply for Social Housing

Apply with your Local Authority to register for housing in your area(s) of preference.

Each Authority will consider factors including household income, your present accommodation (if any) , the condition of that accommodation and any special circumstances such as age, disability, medical circumstances etc.

If eligible, you will be registered with your Local Authority and put on their housing waiting list.

Once a suitable property becomes available, your Local Authority may nominate you to Fréamha as a prospective tenant.

Fréamha does not play a role in the nomination process, it is solely your Local Authority.

Once your nomination is received, we forward our Housing Pack to be completed, stamped and returned to us by the date stated on the pack.

All information provided to us in your completed pack is held in strictest of confidence.

Please note you may be excluded from consideration for providing false information or withholding relevant information from the Housing Pack.

Once the Housing Pack is returned and you provisionally accept the property, our Housing Management Team will be in contact to arrange a suitable time for interview.

If we are allocating you a property, we will arrange a suitable time for allocation and complete a Tenancy Agreement and other documentation.

On the day of allocation, you will be required to pay one month’s rent in advance. This will be returned to you at the end of your tenancy provided there are no outstanding arrears.

You can refuse an available property but be advised if there is not a suitable reason your Local Authority may lower your priority on the housing waiting list.
