How To Become A Tenant in North Hertfordshire

 
The Common Housing Register
One of the aims of North Hertfordshire Homes (NHH) is to provide affordable housing to those that need it. We do this by working in partnership with North Hertfordshire District Council (NHDC) and other Registered Social Landlords (RSLs), providing affordable and suitable accommodation to meet the needsof local people.
 
By working closely with Howard Cottage Housing Association (HCHA) and the local council (NHDC), we formed North Hertfordshire Housing Partnership (NHHP) and successfully introduced a common housing register in 2005. This means that applicants have access to housing across the district by the completion of one application form. 
 
To further improve the service to applicants, the NHHP launched a new Common Housing Allocations Policy in July 2009. This means that applicants are now only assessed once under the same criteria regardless of who they apply to.
 
For more information, please see our Common Housing Allocation Scheme leaflet:
