The Housing Executive uses one form for both requesting and transferring accommodation - the Housing and Transfer Application Form.

This is also the form you use to apply to your local housing association. Fill in with accurate information. You could be evicted if you gain a house using incorrect or false information.

Filling In The Form

This form asks for details about yourself and the other people you want to live with. You can include people who don't live with you at the moment, but who will live with you in your new accommodation.

The second part of the application contains a series of questions and statements. Read these carefully. Answer them truthfully, then sign and date the form. If you get permanent accommodation based on information which later turns out to be incorrect, you could lose it.

You must keep the Housing Executive informed about any changes in your circumstances. It is best to do this in writing. Keep a copy of the letter. Use the Change of Circumstances letter.

The Housing Executive will not assess you if you do not sign and date your application form. Get advice if you are not prepared to accept the declarations.

After completing the form

Return the completed form to any Housing Executive District Office. You can either post your form or deliver it in person. Keep a note of the office you returned the form to and the date you returned it.

Include any evidence which supports your application. For example, a statement from your doctor. Keep a photocopy of any evidence you send with your application.
