Introduction to the consultation
City of Lincoln Council is currently reviewing the Housing Allocations Policy and is seeking feedback on the proposed changes.
The Allocations Policy is a really important document which sets out how someone is assessed when they approach the council for housing.
It also captures the legislation the council has to adhere to when assessing an applicant to determine its legal duty to provide housing assistance, to whom and when.
It is good practice to review the policy regularly and it is almost five years since its previous consultation during 2020.
We have contacted all current applicants registered on Lincs Homefinder by email or post to ask for their feedback, but also welcome views of anyone with a need, interest or involvement with housing assistance in Lincoln.
Any feedback provided will be considered to shape the final version of the policy.
