There are two types of tenancy that you can have with us here at BCHA: General Needs and Supported Housing.
General Needs homes are for people who are eligible for social housing, but don’t have additional support needs. Our experienced Tenancy Team support people to maintain their tenancies, and provide additional assistance when tenants find it difficult to pay their rent or need help with neighbour difficulties.
Our General Needs homes are located mainly around Dorset, but also in Somerset, Wiltshire, Hampshire and Devon.
You will need to be referred by your local authority to be eligible for one of BCHA's rentable properties. If you are homeless, or at risk of homelessness, please contact your local authority. If you are not sure of who your local authority is, you can use the GOV website to find their contact details.
If you have any questions about our General Needs accommodation, please contact your Housing Officer or our Customer Services team:
