Couple of things I know.
Contact the Glasgow homeless team. They will confirm homeless statement and boost points.
Apply for as many housing asociations as possible. You don't need to just be on one waiting list.
Some associations give priority if your friend is able to climb stairs. Ground floor flats are a priority for those with medical needs.
Make sure to complete the forms fully and correctly. A lot of people when applying don't give all the information first time and it causes a lot of delays on making an application live on the system.
Given all the trouble to apply for a house. Associations aren't always the best option. They only have a small roster of properties and can only really give properties when they become available. People generally keep their property for over 20 years. If you are 28th in the queue you are waiting for 28 people to either pass away or move on. |
