Housing Application Review
Anyone who is currently registered with the Council for housing or for a transfer should have received a review form during December 2009.
If you have not yet returned your form then please note that the deadline for returning it has now been extended. Forms must be returned, with all relevant documentation, by Friday 26th February 2010. If you did not receive your form, one can be collected at Contact Harlow in the Civic Centre, Harlow.
If you do not complete and return the form by Friday 26th February 2010, your name will be removed from the Housing Register and any subsequent application you may make will then be registered from the date of its receipt.
If you have previously handed in your completed Housing Review Form we anticipate that the review process will be completed by the end of June 2010
If you are currently registered, but not already a Council tenant, and your details and/or circumstances have changed since you completed your form you must provide the correct information. This can be done in person at Contact Harlow, Civic Centre - please ask to complete a change of circumstances form - or by telephone on 01279 446369. You can also download a Change of Circumstances Form here.
