Homes to rent

The first step towards moving into a home rented from SSHA is to register with My Homefinder.

How do I apply to join your waiting list?

Anyone can register with My Homefinder. Just fill in the application form and you are on your way.

The information on the application form will help us to assess whether you are eligible to join our waiting list, in the correct band for your housing needs: Gold, Silver or Bronze.

How do we decide which band you are in?

  • Gold Band – You need to move urgently and can no longer live in your current home i.e. you have been accepted as being unintentionally homeless and in priority need by the Homelessness department at South Staffordshire Council or you have been awarded high medical priority to move to other accommodation.
  • Silver Band - Your current home is not suitable for your needs but you are able to stay there whilst you choose another i.e. you have been accepted as homeless by the Homelessness department at South Staffordshire Council but not in priority need or when you need to receive support from or give support to a close family member.
  • Bronze Band - Your current home meets your needs but you want to move.

How do I look for a home?

Take a look through the weekly advertisements listing all our available homes on My homefinder. You will be able to see the weekly rent for each home and what it has to offer, including the number of bedrooms and whether it has a garden.

If you see a home that’s perfect for you, you can make an expression of interest online. If you don’t hear from us by the end of the week, it is unlikely that your expression of interest has been successful. Remember, though, that new properties are listed almost every week, so don’t be too disappointed and keep trying.

The successful applicant will be the person who is in the highest band and who has been on the waiting list the longest. We will get in touch to invite you to view the property, meeting you there to show you around.

If you decide to accept the property, you will be sent a formal offer letter and we will let you know how soon you can sign the tenancy and receive the keys to your new home.
