Home Options properties - November 2024 update 

From 9 November 2024 there will be less properties advertised on the Home Options website for general applicants to place a bid.

This is because of a change made by Newport City Council in response to increasing homeless applications, who will be directly offered a single re-housing option most suited to their assessed needs.
