Southend council provides specific guidance on the necessary documents required for applying for council housing. They advise that support can be offered in the form of clarity about what documentation is required.
To start your application, you will need to gather the following documents:
| Document Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Proof of Identity | Birth certificate, passport, or driving licence |
| Proof of Address | Tenancy agreement or a letter from your head of household |
| Rent Payment Statement | Up-to-date statement from your landlord if currently renting |
| Proof of Income | Bank statements, letters confirming benefits |
| Medical Evidence | Documentation such as prescriptions or letters from healthcare providers |
The council requests that you send all these documents to CBL@southend.gov.uk when you submit your application. If additional evidence is required, they will inform you. If you need more details or want to start the application process, visit the apply online page.
