How affordable housing works in Causeway Coast and Glens

Affordable housing is not one single waiting list or one type of home. In practice, applicants may encounter council housing, homes managed by housing associations, choice-based lettings, supported or sheltered housing, and affordable ownership or development schemes. Each route has its own eligibility rules, application process and availability.

Social rented housing

These homes are normally let below market rent by a council or registered housing provider. Access commonly starts with a local housing register or another provider-led application route.

Choice-based lettings

Where a choice-based system is used, eligible applicants can usually express interest in advertised homes rather than being allocated every property automatically. The official local service remains the source of truth for how bidding works.

Supported and sheltered housing

Some housing is designed around age, support or care needs. It may use a different assessment or referral process from the main housing register, so it is worth checking the dedicated local route where one exists.

Affordable ownership and new supply

Affordable housing can also include ownership or new-build schemes. These are separate from social-rent stock and may be marketed through developers, housing associations or specialist schemes when homes become available.

  2. Read the current allocation guidance.Priority and allocation are governed by the Northern Ireland Housing Selection Scheme, so use the official guidance rather than assuming council-style local rules.
  3. Get urgent housing help where needed.Homelessness and urgent housing assistance in Northern Ireland is handled through NIHE services rather than an ordinary council waiting list.
  4. Check housing associations too.Participating housing associations may publish useful property or contact information, but their presence does not mean they have a vacant home today.

Before you apply

What to have ready

Exact requirements vary, so always follow the current official application form. As a practical starting point, applicants are often asked for information that proves identity, household circumstances, current housing situation and local connection or housing need where relevant.

Identity and householdNames, dates of birth and who will live with you.
Current housingYour present address, tenancy or living arrangement and why you need to move.
Income and circumstancesFinancial or benefit information may be requested where it affects eligibility or affordability.
Supporting evidenceMedical, welfare, homelessness or other evidence may be relevant depending on your application.

This checklist is general guidance, not a statement of the local authority's current eligibility rules. The official application route above controls what is actually required.

Urgent housing need

If you are homeless or at risk of homelessness

Do not wait for an ordinary affordable-housing search if you have nowhere safe to stay or are at immediate risk of losing your home. Use the local authority's homelessness and housing-advice route so your circumstances can be assessed through the appropriate process.

Local amenity evidence is still being assembled for this guide. We do not widen the radius or substitute generic national results just to fill the section.

Evidence and methodology

How this Northern Ireland guide is built

Affordable Housing Hub combines regulator and government evidence with official housing-service and provider-owned public information. We deliberately keep known housing stock, provider activity and current availability as separate facts so historic or regulatory evidence is never presented as a vacant home.

GeographyLocal-authority geography is normalised against ONS data.
Providers and stockProvider and housing evidence is drawn from stored NI Housing Executive, Department for Communities, nidirect and registered housing-association sources where available.
Application routesNI Housing Executive, nidirect, Department for Communities and provider-owned public routes are stored as actionable sources rather than fetched during a public page request.
AvailabilityListings and developments appear only when a specific public signal has been stored.
