Affordable housing
Council housing
We have around 18,000 council homes which are managed by Berneslai Homes. Read more about council housing.
Housing associations
There are affordable homes available to rent from housing associations such as:
- Together Housing
- Yorkshire Housing
- South Yorkshire Housing Association
- Guinness Northern Counties Housing Association
- Hanover Housing Association
- Habinteg Housing Association
- Acis Housing Group
- Places for People
You should contact the housing association directly to apply to join their waiting list.
Some housing associations advertise properties through the council’s choice-based letting scheme. Berneslai Homes also provide nominations to housing associations for some available properties. If you join the council house waiting list, you'll be able to bid for housing association properties advertised through the scheme.
Buying an affordable home
There are a range of government schemes available to make buying your own home more affordable. Find out about affordable home ownership schemes on GOV.UK.
