The Devon Home Choice website is now live.

Devon Home Choice is a new Choice Based Letting scheme that will cover the whole of Devon and was implemented fully in May 2010. Council and housing association homes available to let in Devon will be advertised through Devon Home Choice each week.

You will be able to bid for homes that suit your requirements. Homes will still be offered to those assessed as being in the most need.

The 10 local authorities in Devon are working together to provide people seeking housing the opportunity to move within Devon. For example to take up a new job.

Devon Home Choice will be phased in across Devon from January 2010.

Under Devon Home Choice we will use a common:

• Application form
• Housing register
• Approach to assessing housing need and awarding priority
• Approach to advertising available homes
