Communities and Local Government does not generally collect information on the detailed workings of Choice Based Lettings schemes.
Bolton, Leeds, Wychavon and the East London Letting Company (comprising Hackney, Havering, Newham, Redbridge and Waltham Forest) are known to offer housing applicants private rented options alongside social housing in their Choice Based Lettings schemes. Other schemes may also include or be developing these options.
Communities and local government is committed to ensuring that housing applicants have more choice over where they live. We encourage local authorities to work with private landlords so that housing applicants and tenants who are seeking a transfer have more housing options from which to choose.
