Housing Allocations
How are homes allocated?
Bedfordshire’s local authorities and the two largest housing associations have agreed a common allocations policy for Bedfordshire.
The partners are:
- Bedford Borough Council
- bpha
- Central Bedfordshire Council
- Aragon Housing Association
- Luton Borough Council
Each housing provider will continue to take housing applications for the relevant district as follows:
| Bpha (on behalf of Bedford Borough Council) | 01234 79 10 00 |
| Aragon Housing Association | 01525 84 05 05/ 01767 68 58 00 |
| Luton Borough Council | 01582 51 03 70 |
| Central Bedfordshire Council | 0300 300 80 00 |
The new allocations policy replaces the points-based assessments of housing needs which were used in the different local authority areas. Under the new allocations policy, an applicant’s need for housing will be assessed using a banding scheme as described below.
You can request a copy of the full Allocations Policy from any of the organisations above or see them on the organisations’ websites:
