Housing Options. Following a review of allocation services, the partner organisations identified a need for a change in attitude and approach to delivering housing advice and allocating housing within Powys. Given the lack of social housing available within Powys, it has been recognised that a wider housing options approach is needed to meet housing need. In order to help find the right solution for a person and to know what the right options may be, it is necessary to find out what matters to a person in relation to their home. Where social housing is the right option, it is important to find the applicant a home they can afford, in the right place at the right time, ensure they move in prepared and build and maintain a relationship with their landlord. An applicant will be expected to declare any past or current behavioural issues which may have an impact on any future tenancy from the outset, take responsibility for such behaviour and be willing to engage with partner organisations or a third party to achieve a suitable course of action. Where necessary a “Housing Plan” will be agreed to help ensure the applicant is able to maintain a successful tenancy in the future.
