Delays to processing new applications

Due to extreme pressures on our service at present, we are currently working on a wait time of 6-8 weeks when processing new applications to join the Housing Register in Kirklees. 

We are working as fast as we can on processing applications in the order that we received them. Please do not contact Housing Solutions solely to check on the status of your application. 

If you have indicated on your application form that you require a medical assessment from the Accessible Home Team, please be aware that the Medical Advisory team currently have a large backlog of applications to assess, and this may take up to 18 weeks

If you are homeless today, or at imminent risk of becoming homeless, please contact Kirklees Housing Solutions Service on 01484 221350.
