The new site by social housing alliance Homes4D&G will provide in-depth housing information and advice for social housing applicants looking to let a new home.

Homes4D&G is a common housing partnership in Dumfries and Galloway and is made up of four housing associations. The partners are Wheatley Homes South, Cunninghame Housing Association, Riverside Housing and Home Group.

The easy-to-use website launches on 26 April and will support applicants to make the right choices about their housing needs.
Those who use the new service will get tailored advice about their housing, see much more information about the current homes available, be able to apply for housing, note interest and check on the progress of an application.

Current Homes4D&G applicants have been asked to re-submit their housing application on the new system in the lead up to the launch of the new website.

On behalf of the Homes4D&G alliance, Alan Glasgow, Managing Director at Wheatley Homes South, said:

“We wrote to all current Homes4D&G applicants recently to let them know about the new Homes4D&G website and the changes to our letting policy; and asked them to submit new housing applications on our updated system.

“It is really important that anyone who received this letter re-submits their application before the website launches, otherwise their application won’t be transferred onto the new system.

“The changes to this service have been designed to be fair to people in most need of social housing, including families in need.

Homes4D&G applicants who received a letter but are not sure what they need to do, can attend one of several drop-in sessions run by Wheatley Homes South staff or call our Customer First Centre.

The drop-in sessions are open to current applicants and tenants of all four housing associations that form Homes4D&G who received a letter asking them to re-submit their housing application.
