This is now the only way to apply for social housing in Gloucestershire.  There are 5 key steps:

1. Register - complete a New Household Registration Form.  
   Tell me more about registering.
2. Banding - your application will be made active within 3 to 4 weeks and you will receive either a letter or email confirming what bands you have been placed in.
   Tell me more about banding.
3. View Adverts - once you are active you can view available properties.
4. Bid - place up to 3 bids each week on properties you are interested in.  You must log in to your account to bid.
   Tell me more about bidding.
5. Offer - once the bidding cycle closes, the will usually be offered to the applicant who matches the criteria of the advert, who is in the highest band, and who has the earliest application date.  If your bid is successful, you will be contacted by the landlord of the property directly.  
   Tell me more about offers.

To look at a detailed guide about how to apply, how to bid and what happens when an offer is made, please view the Scheme Guide.  Or see our FAQ pages.
