Social housing

Social Housing provides affordable and secure homes. It is for people on low incomes or with specific needs, who cannot access other housing. Social housing is provided by local authorities and non-profit organisations like registered housing associations.

There is a lot of demand for social housing, so priority is given to certain groups of people who urgently need to move. This can include people who are:

• homeless
• have certain health and welfare needs including SEND
• living in overcrowded housing

Young people can join Newcastle Council’s Housing Register and bid for some properties through registered housing providers.
