Bands
Applications are prioritised using 3 bands:
Band 1: High priority – for example, people with an urgent need to move due to over-riding medical reasons, and those moving to a smaller home which frees up a larger home for another applicant.
Band 2: Medium priority – for example, people who are overcrowded because they lack 2 bedrooms, and people with severe medical problems.
Band 3: Low priority – for example, people who are employed on a low income who also lack 1 bedroom, and people who need to move due to less severe medical problems than those in Bands 1 and 2.
