Would you be interested in affordable housing?
Following on from the community housing survey last month, we are opening a confidential register for anyone interested in affordable housing opportunities in the parish. The idea behind this is to show proof of demand within the community. Bear in mind this is very likely going to be a long term project, so you might not need housing right now, but would be interested in a few years.
What data would you need to hold?
We’d like to get basic contact details (email address and/or phone number), how many people (eg single person, family of 2 or 3 etc) and whether you would be willing to rent and/or buy.
Who would you share the data with?
The register would be held in a password protected spreadsheet on Google Drive, so only those with the password, and with access to the Community Google drive file, would be able to access it. This number would be limited to 2 people in the core group so that we can contact you if needed. Your details will never be shared with anyone else.
How do I express an interest?
Email with your name, contact details, number of people and whether you would be interested in renting or buying (or either) and we will add you to the register.
What happens if I no longer need affordable housing?
If you no longer need or want to be on the register, email us and ask us to remove you. Additionally we’ll undertake an annual review of the list to make sure we only ever hold data for those actively still looking.
Is this the same as the Eden Housing Register?
No! Absolutely not. You should also join the Housing Register – that’s the most important thing to do. Our ‘register’ is simply a method of showing demand over time. You can find out more about joining the housing register here: How do I qualify for housing?
