To qualify for social housing support, a household must generally submit a properly completed application form to the housing authority, including providing the supporting documents specified in the application form checklist. Where a valid application form is submitted, a housing authority will then assess it in terms of eligibility and need for such support in accordance with section 20 of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009 and the Social Housing Assessment Regulations made thereunder.
