Relationship Breakdown (Bha Tenant) Information/Application Form

STATUTORILY HOMELESSNESS/ RELATIONSHIP BREAKDOWN (BHA TENANT) INFORMATION/APPLICATION FORM

If you wish to make a homeless application you should apply immediately to your Local Authority (in the Scottish Borders area this is Scottish Borders Council). You can access the homeless service through any Scottish Borders Council Contact Centre or by contacting the homeless service direct at the address below.

Your Local Authority will discuss housing options with you.

If Scottish Borders Council accepts a duty to house you as a homeless person and refers you to Berwickshire Housing Association, then you will receive Gold Priority for housing.

If Scottish Borders Council does not accept a duty to house you but nevertheless deems you are in significant housing need and/or at risk of becoming homeless, you may qualify for bronze priority if a referral is made and confirmation of your housing options agreement is received.

Finally, if you wish to make a homeless application to the Scottish Borders Council from another Local Authority area your Local Authority can, in certain circumstances, make a ’homeless referral’ to Scottish Borders Council. For more information contact your own Local Authority.
