Housing and homes
Changes coming to how you bid for a property.
Home Choice Plus is changing. From 31 March 2026 you will need to bid on properties using our new system Wyre Forest Home Choice. The new system is open now for registration but you won’t be able to bid until 31 March. If you are already registered on Home Choice Plus you will get a letter telling you about the new system.
The council looks after the housing register, called Home Choice Plus, on behalf of all the social landlords and this is one way of accessing social housing in the district.
Social housing is low cost housing to rent or part buy owned by a Housing Association (now called a Registered Provider).
The council no longer directly own any housing to rent after transferring its properties to Community Housing.
We can also give you information and advice getting and keeping your home.
