      Response

      When customers present for housing they are asked to complete a Housing Options Assessment Form prior to their appointment with a Housing Options Officer. On this form we ask the following question 'Formerly in Armed Forces – If yes, Date from…….…. Date to….…….' The Housing Options officer will go through the form with the customer when they have their appointment. Based on the information provided, the Housing Options Officer will then establish whether or not the customer is eligible to join our housing register in accordance with our Homemove Allocation Scheme 2012 (revised 2014) http://www.hastings.gov.uk/housing/social_housing/sussex_homemove/

      Customers can also use an online form 'Housing Register form' on http://www.hastings.gov.uk/housing/social_housing/sussex_homemove/ to check if they are eligible to join the Housing Register. On this form we ask the following question 'Have you or a member of your family been in the armed forces within the last 5 years?'
