Introducing the Excellent Homes for Life project

Excellent Homes for Life is an exciting project to build 466 new 1 and 2 bed council flats for rent in Kirklees. This will
include homes for individuals and smaller families, with some specially equipped for people who use a wheelchair and
some that are specifically for older people who require care and support to live independently.  It’s anticipated that
these homes will start to become available later on in 2012.

Whether you are interested in renting one of the new homes or are simply keen to know more about the Excellent
Homes for Life project, you can find more details by clicking here 

The homes for individuals and smaller households and people who need to use a wheelchair, will be let through choose
'n' move. We will put more information on our choose ‘n’ move website about the properties nearer to the time of them
being ready for occupation.

In the meantime you can apply to become a member of choose ‘n’ move, click here for more information.

The homes specifically for older people needing care and support will be provided within three Extra Care housing
schemes and will be allocated following an assessment of need. It’s anticipated that the first Extra Care homes will
become available in mid 2013.
