Homechoice is changing
The information lower down this page on how to find a home with us is temporarily different as Cornwall Council makes changes to Homechoice.
Here's an update from Cornwall Council:
Our approach to allocating social and affordable homes in Cornwall is changing, with a new Cornwall Homechoice Policy and applicant portal going live from 14 April 2025.
To get ready for the changes, the weekly advert and bidding cycles have now been paused after the last advert cycle closed at midnight on Monday 17 February 2025.
The register will be closed from 5pm on 6 March 2025, including for any new applications. Any applications that are in the process of being assessed at the time of closure, will be prioritised for assessment from 14 April 2025.
Your current application details will be automatically transferred to the new system, you will not need to start a new application. To find out more information about the changes and how you might be impacted please visit the FAQs section of the Homechoice website.
We will continue to support anyone in urgent housing need or experiencing homelessness. If you are in urgent need, please contact 0300 1234 161 or visit the Homeless or at risk page.
