Housing allocations

Hackney Homes housing continues to be allocated by the Hackney Council. The Council has developed a system for allocating housing that is fair and provides housing first to those in the greatest need.

If you are looking for a Council (Hackney Homes) or housing association home you will need to register, a process that involves working out your need for a home and the type of home you require.

Because the supply of property in the borough is not spread evenly, waiting times vary. For example, three bedroom homes and homes in the north of the borough are in high demand and waiting times are lengthy.

The mismatch between supply and demand is a problem but Hackney Homes and Hackney Council work hard to meet your needs.

You can find out more about the Hackney Council's allocation system on their website.
