Apply for a Home

We operate an open access system in which anyone who is 16 years of age or over can apply. However given the relatively low turnover of vacant properties and the high number on our waiting list, your prospects of being housed with us may be limited. 

KCHA Housing Application Form

KCHA Medical Form

KCHA Fair Processing Notice

Equality Monitoring Form

Please download and  complete the above forms then return to allocation@kc-ha.com. 

Alternatively drop into the office and pick up the forms.

We will assess your housing need and advise you in writing of your points total.

Internal Transfers

The Association also operates an internal transfer list in order to try and meet the needs, demands and aspirations of current tenants. 

  • Overcrowding
  • Medical Mobility reasons 
  • Social priority reasons 
  • Aspirational reasons (no housing need)

Availability of housing

We have a very low turnover of properties to re-let, we currently average approximately 12 vacancies for re-let per year.

We have over 600 applicants on our housing list and demand for housing greatly exceeds the supply of housing which becomes available for let.

There is a particularly high demand for family sized properties (4 & 5 apartments) and for properties that have been adapted for wheelchair users.

Applicants should therefore be aware that we are unable to meet the needs, demands and aspirations of all applicants on our housing list.

Applicants should also be aware that their position on the list can change on a regular basis as new applicants are admitted to the list.

 If you require homelessness advice and assistance, during office hours, then you should contact Health and Social Care Connect on 0141 287 0555.

You can also request assistance online.

If you require assistance after 4.45pm Monday to Thursday or 3.55pm on a Friday or weekends and public holidays, then please contact the Emergency Out of Hours Homelessness Service on 0800 838 502.

How do we assess housing applications?

We have 3 main categories of applicants :

  • Homeless applicants
  • Housing list applicants 
  • Internal Transfer applicants 

Properties are allocated on the basis of housing need and applicants are awarded housing need points in accordance with assessed criteria.

Any applicants being considered for an offer of housing will be visited to establish that all details recorded in the application form are correct. Tenancy checks will also be carried out with current/previous landlords where appropriate.
