Ateb
Atebwyd gan Cabinet Minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning (Siân Gwenllian)
Housing allocations in Wales are the responsibility of the local housing authority and are made in accordance with Part 6 of the Housing Act 1996. Under Section 167 of the 1996 Act local housing authorities are required to have an allocation scheme that determines the authority’s priorities and procedures to be followed in allocating social housing.
Only people with a legal right to live in the UK are eligible for social housing. The Welsh Government does not hold any data on the nationality or settled status of individuals or households who are allocated social housing accommodation.
