Each application is assessed and placed in one of four priority bands. These are:

• Band A – emergency/top priority.
• Band B – urgent need to move.
• Band C – identified housing need.
• Band D – all other applicants.

You are also given a priority date, based on the length of time you have been waiting for housing. To start with, this will be your registration date, but if you move up a band, it will be the date you moved to the higher band.

See the related link 'Priority Bands for Rehousing' for more detailed information on the different bands.
