Thank you for taking part in this survey, which is part of a broader research project looking at current practices and issues affecting social housing allocations. It is being carried out by Crisis and the UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence (CaCHE) in collaboration with the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations and Glasgow and West of Scotland Forum of Housing Associations. An important part of this research is understanding the experiences, challenges and perspectives of housing associations in relation to social housing allocations and local authority nominations.
There are 12 main questions to the survey with follow ups. If you wish to access and download a Word version of the survey to share with colleagues to aid completion, please access it
here. The survey focuses on general needs housing and does not ask questions about the allocation of supported housing. Please base your responses on the local authorities with which you have the majority of your properties.
