Apply for Housing
To apply for social housing you will need to join the Gateway To Homechoice register. Colchester has around 4000 active applicants on the Gateway To Homechoice register and new applications are received daily. Despite the ever growing number of applicants on the register, there are limited number of properties available to advertise and successful applicants will often have a long wait to secure accommodation.
Most people in the local area will look to secure private rented accommodation as there is a lot more choice and no waiting time. You can find further information on our Renting Privately page.
