How long you wait for community housing depends on:
- your personal situation
- the areas and house types you have selected
- the number of other registrants on the customer registration
- where your registration is on the registration list
- how many tenancies are coming to an end.
If you are currently homeless or at risk of becoming homeless there are other housing options and services that may be able to assist you. Community housing is not emergency accommodation.
