To apply for a council house in Warwickshire, you need to apply through your local district or borough council, because each area runs its own housing allocation scheme. Warwickshire also points people to the relevant local housing register, application form, or online application page for the area they want to live in.

Before applying, Warwickshire says councils usually look at things like eligibility, local connection, and priority need. If you’re in Warwick District, the published guidance also says a local connection can include living, working, having close family in the area, getting care leavers support there, or having lived in asylum support housing in the area.
There’s a lot of demand for social housing, so waiting lists can be long. If you’re not sure which council area applies to you, Warwickshire says to check your local authority area first and then apply through that council’s housing policy and register.
