Prioritising Applications

Hampshire Home Choice uses four bands to assess housing need:

  • Band 1 - Urgent Need
  • Band 2 - High Need
  • Band 3 - Medium Need
  • Band 4- Low Need

Each application is given:

  • A Registration Date (when you applied)
  • A Priority Date (when you were placed in your band).

How Priority is decided

Applications ordered by:

  1. Band 
  2. Priority Date
  3. Registration Date

This means people in the highest band with the earlies Priority Date will usually be offered properties first.
