Housing case studies: ‘Local connection’ requirement for social housing

***This Covenant case study database is still being built. If you have any case studies about local connection, suitable for adding to the database, please submit a case study.***

Exemption from residency criteria

  • Central Bedfordshire Council has a housing allocations policy that includes an exemption to residency and employment criteria to all currently serving and former Regular personnel. Ordinarily, applicants must have lived in the area for three years or worked in the area for six months. However, current and former Regular personnel are exempted, and also there is not a five-year time limit on ex-serving personnel making an application.
