Am I allowed to register?

Not everyone can register for Nottingham HomeLink or social housing in general.

If you have not been in the UK for very long you may need to read this information to see if you qualify to apply for social housing such as that provided through the HomeLink scheme. 

This information refers, in particular, to the following people:

• Refugees
• People given 'indefinate leave to remain'
• Work permit homders
• European Economic Area workers
• A8 nationals (people from most Eastern European countries which joined the Eurpoean Union in 2004)
• People from Romania and Bulgaria
• People fleeing domestic violence
• People with social care needs.

A full explanation of all the above is given on the website Housing Rights Information.

The website also provides a lot of useful information on:

• Explaining who a 'new arrival' is
• The law on eligibility
• The law on housing benefit
• Race discrimination in housing
• Useful links.
