Housing Help Online

Our Link Up project focused on the new EdIndex website this week with a pop up session to show how to register and apply for housing online. Prospect tenants were able to come along to our office and find out more about the new EdIndex website. We had a great attendance, with a mixture of queries and asks for help. It is now possible to register online, and there are new features such as a guide to Housing options.  Craig who delivers our Link Up sessions was there to give digital advice, and to help people navigate through the site. Elspeth our Housing Assistant was on hand to give guidance and tips about bidding for a new home.

 EdIndex provides a single access point to social housing throughout Edinburgh. Prospect is part of the city wide EdIndex partnership and we let our homes through Key to Choice where applicants note their interest or “bid” on the available homes advertised. People have to be registered with EdIndex in order to bid, and it is now possible to register online.
