In March 2008, all council owned homes transferred to a new housing association called South Northants Homes (SNH).
Although we won't own any social housing, we will still be responsible for the housing register, which is the the list that SNH and the other housing associations in the area use to find tenants for their properties. When SNH takes on the council homes, there will be 15 housing associations that cover South Northamptonshire and we can nominate people from the housing register for many of the housing association properties.
When we allocate properties to people on the register we try to give them to the people in most need, so people who are homeless or who have to move for medical reasons may be given preference.
