Housing Demand

Demand for social housing is very high. We can’t find homes for everyone who applies. Being on the register doesn’t mean you will be successful in getting a property. There are over 27,000 households on the Leeds Homes Register, and over 5,000 of these are in Band A, the highest priority band. Most Band A customers are waiting over 2 years to be offered a home with the council.

What you can do

Use the Advice Aid tool. It can guide you through alternative housing solutions. You could also:

rent from a landlord or agent
apply to an independent housing association
use the House Exchange scheme if you’re already a Council or Housing Association tenant
contact Citizens Advice Bureau for free confidential, impartial and independent advice

Application processing times

Due to high demand, it’s taking longer than usual to process applications. If you’ve applied online, please wait—we’ll contact you as soon as possible. There’s no need to follow up in the meantime.

Welcome to the Leeds Homes website

We advertise Leeds City Council and partner Housing Association homes for registered customers to bid on.

Social housing applications

You can fill out a social housing application form on this website. This will tell us about your situation and help us assess your housing needs and priority.

To access the form you will need to login or register. You'll find it on the My account page. If you need help, you can read our guide to applying.
