Apply for Housing

If you are interested in joining our housing waiting list, you can collect an application form from our offices at Samaritan House, 79 Coplaw Street.

If you would like to request a pack is sent to you in the post please email checkin@govanhillha.org

Application forms can also be downloaded online here.

Guidance on how to complete the application form is included, along with details of the supporting information you need to provide.

We usually have about 900 applicants on our housing list at any one time.  However, some lists move much more quickly than others. For example, the list for 3 bedroom or larger properties moves very slowly. However, the list for certain one and two bedroom properties can move quite rapidly, for example, for 3rd floor tenement properties or for properties which have single rather than double bedrooms. 

What happens next?

Once we have registered your application, we will send you a receipt showing your application reference number. We will then fully assess your housing needs and, providing you have submitted all of the supporting evidence we require, we will advise you of the level of priority given to your application. We will visit you at home to confirm all of your circumstances before an offer of housing is made to you.
