You are automatically registered with Locata if you are an existing tenant <strong>of</strong> the Council<br />
or participating housing association and have registered for a transfer, or if you are a<br />
Home-seeker, including homeless people and others on the Housing Register <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Council or participating housing association.<br />
Home-seeker:<br />
If you do not have an existing Council or Housing Association tenancy, you will<br />
be a Home-seeker (H). You can only register your interest in properties that<br />
have been advertised for Home-seekers (H).<br />
Tenant:<br />
If you are currently a Council or Housing Association Tenant wishing to transfer<br />
to another property, you will be a Tenant (T). You can only register your<br />
interest in properties that have been advertised for Tenants (T).<br />
8. YOUR HOUSING NEED ASSESSMENT<br />
Once we have received an application a Housing Officer will assess your housing need<br />
based on the information you have given us. We will then write to you to let you know<br />
the outcome <strong>of</strong> the assessment that will include:<br />
♦ your application reference number (Locata identification number)<br />
♦ whether you are a Home-seeker or Tenant<br />
♦ the band<br />
♦ the reason for the band<br />
♦ date band awarded<br />
♦ the number <strong>of</strong> bedrooms you require - you may wish to consider bidding for<br />
accommodation smaller than the bed size for which you have been assessed, as<br />
long as the Person Min-Max Specification is not exceeded<br />
♦ whether you require an adapted property<br />
