Please note that amendments to the Home Options Policy were approved by Newport City Council in August 2024 for a 2-year period to respond to the unprecedented demand the authority is experiencing for housing and temporary accommodation.
The council, in conjunction with our Housing Association partners, will be making a single suitable offer of accommodation in the social or private rented sector to those who have been assessed in accordance with our statutory duties as homeless; those who are threatened with homelessness and those who are ready to move on from supported housing. This will mean that the number of properties advertised on Home Options will be reduced for a period of time. These changes come into effect from 9th November 2024.
