Gateway to Home Choice provides a choice-based lettings scheme for council and housing associations in 7 local authority areas including Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils:
Each week the vacant social housing in the area of operation of the 7 local authorities is advertised on the Gateway to Home Choice website.
Applicants who are registered can indicate up to 2 properties they are interested in, either online or by phone.
All vacancies advertised through the scheme are owned by councils or housing associations.
All of the local authorities operate the same allocations policy.
