Want to become a Springboard
customer?
As with most housing associations that operate in these areas,
we no longer accept applications directly from the public. So if
you are interested in renting a Springboard home, you need to
register with your local council. In some exceptional cases you can
apply to us directly, for example where we find the demand for a
property is low. We will advertise any of these vacancies on our
website and often in the local press.
Local council nomination
When you contact your local council they will assess your needs and
decide if they can accept you for housing. You have to apply to the
council local to the area in which you live. Some councils will
allow you to apply if you work in their area.
If you are nominated to us, a member of our staff will contact you
and let you know what accommodation we have available that is
suited to your needs. Our rents are affordable to those on low
incomes.
Choice-based lettings
Choice-based lettings is a system that lets you choose the property
that you would like to live in rather than someone else choosing it
for you.
The boroughs of Newham, Redbridge, Waltham Forest, Havering and
Barking and Dagenham all operate a choice based lettings system
which is run by the 'East London Lettings Company' (ELLC).
ELLC advertises affordable rented housing that is available in
all of these areas. If you are on the housing register with one of
these councils, and your registration is not deferred, you can bid
for a property that matches your registration category and your
property needs. If you are unsure, your council will be able to
tell you what your registration category is.
For more information you can visit the ELLC
website.
You can visit the websites of councils that operate a choice-based
lettings scheme in areas in which we have accommodation.
