General news
We have a range of properties across England, designed exclusively for people aged 55 and over. Depending on your needs, you may want to choose a Retirement Living or Extra Care scheme; both are designed to allow you to live the life you want to lead, with support when you need it.
Most of our properties are allocated jointly with the local authority, so you would need to register your details with them to be considered for a rental property with Housing 21. You can find out more by contacting the scheme directly and in our Allocations Policy.

Am I eligible?
You need to be at least 55 years old, although priority will always be given to people over 65, actively looking to move and be able to afford the rent and service charges (depending on your circumstances you may get Housing Benefit to help with the charges).
You can find out more by reading our Allocations Policy.
