Last December we published statutory guidance for local authorities to ensure that – with the exception of Service personnel – only those with a well-established local residency and local association qualify for social housing. The guidance also encourages local authorities to consider how accurate and anonymised information on waiting list applicants and lettings outcomes could be routinely published, to strengthen public confidence in the fairness of their allocation scheme.</p><p>Information on social housing lettings is collected by the Department through the Continuous Recording of Lettings (CORE). In 2012/13, 92% of all new social housing (general and supported, social and affordable rents) lettings were to households where the lead tenant was a UK national. In Liverpool this was 91%.
