Do you want to pass on your opinions to allocations policy within Edinburgh?
All social landlords are required to have a policy which sets out how their homes will be allocated. Usually, this policy is reviewed every three to five years to evaluate what is working well, what could be improved and if there are any changes in legislation. The City of Edinburgh Council has committed to review its current allocations policy (called the Letting Policy) as one of the actions within the Housing Emergency Action Plan (HEAP).
Due to significant pressure on the homeless service, the Council took the decision in April 2025 to suspend the current Letting Policy to allow Council homes to be used for temporary accommodation and to direct let some properties to groups with priorities. The suspension is currently due to end on 31 March 2027. When completing this survey, please refer to the current Letting Policy, linked above.
