HomeChoice is a scheme which we, at Warwick District Council, operate with several housing associations. We let available homes to those in housing need. We advertise new and existing council and housing association properties through HomeChoice. This means that you will only have to fill in one form to apply for housing and everybody is assessed in the same way, no matter who the landlord is.
