authority areas:

Our leaflet 'Villages & Towns with
Association Property' tells you the types of property we own in
each area. To see if you are eligible to join our waiting list then
please complete our housing eligibility
form (select "I want to make a housing
application" from the drop down box).
We also have specialist accommodation for those applicants who
may need more support or we can provide floating support. Our
leaflet supported
housing tells you more about these schemes.
We are also building properties for low cost home ownership.

Development section.
In all the areas, apart from Hambleton, you should apply to the
local council to go on their waiting list. This is because we have
agreements with the councils for them to put forward applicants
from their lists for any vacancies and new properties.
Broadacres has charitable status which means that you must meet
certain criteria to be able to join our waiting list. (If you are
eligible to be put forward from the local councils list, you will
still need to meet our criteria).
These criteria are:
| a) |
You are an existing tenant of Broadacres. |
| b) |
You are aged 60 or over and specifically want sheltered or
ground floor accommodation. |
| c) |
You need specifically designed or adapted accommodation because
of a mental or physical disability and are unable to buy or rent
such a property within your means. |
| d) |
You are aged 18 or over and having difficulty finding or
sustaining suitable accommodation because of your financial
circumstances. (In exceptional circumstances we will accept
applications from 16 and 17 year olds). |
What do we mean by financial
circumstances?
Each year we review average house
prices in the area and also private rents and decide what level of
income and savings you will need to find accommodation in the
private sector. If your income and savings are below these levels,
you can join our list.
