How do I register for council housing?
To find a new home you have to join Sheffield City Council’s housing register. Simply complete a housing registration form, which can be obtained from any Area Housing Office, First Point at Howden House, or Sheffield Property Shop. You can also download a copy at the bottom of this page.
Once you are registered, we may write to you from time to time to check your details are correct. Anyone over 16 can apply to be on the register, but generally you will not be offered a home until you are at least 18.
You must keep us informed of any changes in your circumstances that may affect your eligibility. To do this, please use the form below which you can return to any Housing Office, First Point or to the Sheffield Property Shop.
The Housing Act 1996 prevents Local Authorities from offering a property to some people because of their immigration status. Please ask for advice if you think this may apply to you.
You can view the range of properties available to rent on the Sheffield Property Shop website.
