Who is eligible?
For eligibility criteria, check with the Housing Options team.
Client services
The Lewisham Letting Scheme work’s with several landlords who offer us properties. If we have a property available we will call suitable families on our waiting list to offer them a viewing.
Our landlords will usually carry out multiple viewings and then offer the tenancy to the family of their choice. If you attend a viewing and are not offered the tenancy we will continue to invite you to view other properties that become available.
You are also encouraged to look for your own property by searching internet sites such as Zoopla and Right Move or check local news papers etc. The property does not have to be within Lewisham.
How are referrals made
If you are threatened with homelessness you should get advice from the Housing Options Centre. They will assess if you are eligible for the scheme. Self-Referral is not possible.
