Housing need is generally defined as those who are
- Homeless / threatened with homelessness
- Occupying accommodation that is too large or too small for the household
- Living in accommodation which is unsuitable because of medical reasons
- Living in unsatisfactory or unsanitary conditions
- Needing to move to give or receive support or for employment reasons
If you do not fall into one of the above categories, we strongly advise that you do not register for Lincs Homefinder and that you seek alternative accommodation such as in the privately rented sector.
