Exchange of Social Accommodation
Social Accommodation
Aim of the Service
The Exchange of Social Accommodation initiative provides an opportunity for tenants living in social accommodation to submit a request to exchange their residence, provided that valid and reasonable grounds exist.
Tenants are eligible if they have lived in their current home for at least 3 years, have no outstanding rent or ARMS bill payments, and provide a valid reason for the request.
The Housing Authority considers the following reasons to be valid: difficult relationships with neighbours, supported by police reports; an increase in family size; mobility issues; a request for a smaller residence; or to live closer to family members, which will assist them with daily needs.
