Kent Homechoice
Kent Homechoice is the choice based lettings scheme for all council and housing association homes in Kent.
Kent Homechoice gives people more choice about where they would like to live and they can express an interest in vacant homes that are suitable for their needs.
All 13 Local Authorities in Kent are now using the Kent Homechoice system and are working in partnership with 22 Housing Associations to assist in creating long term sustainable communities.
The Kent Homechoice website offers plenty more information about the scheme.
