System maintenance on Redbridge Homes 4 U is now complete. The housing register application form will be live from MONDAY 16 JUNE and can be accessed here:
Redbridge Council is moving to a new Choice Based Lettings (CBL) platform. Redbridge Homes 4 U will make management of the limited supply of social housing properties easier to advertise and allocate.
We need your help
If you already have a homeless application, you DO NOT need to complete a housing register application form. You will get an email with further instructions before 18th July.
If you don’t have a homeless application; and you are registered on the existing housing register, then you MUST complete and submit an application on Redbridge Homes 4 U by 18th July 2025 if you want to keep bidding for social housing.
All applicants can continue to bid for homes on the Choice Homes website until this date.
You can still register after this date but you will not be able to bid for social housing until your application is approved and assessed. This may impact your waiting time.
Your effective date on the current housing register will be honoured on the new system to ensure existing priority is maintained.
Our team of officers will be processing a large volume of applications, so please be patient with us during this time. We will be in contact with you as soon as possible - please do not contact us during this period as this may slow down your application.
You are responsible for ensuring your application is completed and submitted. The council will not complete any application for you. If you are unable to complete the application you can ask family, friends, support worker or neighbours for assistance.
These changes are being made following recent consultation on the housing allocation scheme whereby Redbridge Council asked you to share your views. Consultation is now complete. The allocations policy has been approved by cabinet members and can be found under Key Documents.
This scheme informs how we allocate housing both in and out of the borough and prioritises the people on the housing register.
The new housing allocations scheme:
Sets out clearly how we allocate and let social housing in the borough
Ensures decisions are made fairly and with clear reasons
Makes it easier to understand the eligibility criteria, who qualifies, and who we cannot house
Improves the way we prioritise people. This is especially important given the high demand for the few properties that are available to let each year
Makes sure we comply with recent legislation and good practice.
