Affinity Housing

Home Choice Reading

With this scheme:

• We advertise the properties becoming available
• Applicants can check the ads and let us know which properties they want to be considered for (known as bidding)
• Properties are allocated to the bidder with the highest priority for housing
• We publish a summary of how properties are let so everyone can see the process is fair

Although Homechoice at Reading offers greater choice to people on the Housing Register it does not mean that we have more homes available - the reality is that there are far more people waiting for housing than there are properties available.
