A consultation is taking place on proposed changes to how people access the housing register in West Norfolk
About the consultation
The housing register is the list of people who have applied for help to find an affordable home. When people apply they are given different levels of ‘priority’ according to their needs. The changes will mean that some applicants are given a different priority from what they are given now.
We have produced a survey asking for views on six changes:
- Number of levels of priority
- Level of priority for people with a job
- Giving more help with prevention of homelessness
- People with welfare and medical priorities
- Level of priority for lacking a bedroom
- Moving on from hostel (supported) accommodation
Each change is explained and then people are asked whether they think the change should be made or not. We will take people’s views into account when a final decision is made. There is also an opportunity for people to have their say and suggest other changes that might be considered in future.

The consultation is open and closes at midnight on Friday, 23 May 2025.
