Homelessness

If you are homeless and want to apply for a home with us, you must first register with the Council, as we cannot provide temporary accommodation.

East Lothian Council has a Housing Access Team to help if you are homeless or in danger of becoming homeless. They can provide you with temporary accommodation, advice and support.

Once you are registered with the council and with These Homes you can apply to us for a Platinum Priority Pass. Read more about Priority Passes.

We allocate 50% of our available properties to Platinum Pass holders so it's important to apply if you think you may be eligible.
