Bromsgrove District Council is changing the system used for social housing applications in Bromsgrove District.

If you are seeking housing in that district, then from 17 August 2026, you will need to reapply on the new system.

From that date, please apply via this link: https://bromsgrovehomechoice.community.mrisoftware.com

Please do this as soon as possible from 17 August. This is so that your reapplication will have plenty of time to be reassessed.

Please ensure your email address on the current system is up to date so that you receive an email about this closer to the time.

If you do not reapply your application will be closed.

If you reapply by 1 October 2026, and your reapplication receives the same banding, then your original effective date will stay the same and you will not lose your waiting time.

Please note that the current system will close to new applications when the new system opens to applications on 17 August.

However existing applicants will still be able to keep bidding on homes on the current system until 28 September 2026.

Between 29 September and 6 October there will be no advertised properties in Bromsgrove to bid on while the systems are changed over.

Homes will then start being advertised to applicants on the new system on 6 October 2026, when it goes fully live.

The current system, and all applications on it, will be closed on 6 October 2026.

Please look out for more information about this nearer the time.

From 31 March 2026, there has been a change to the Home Choice Plus partnership. The partnership now consists of Bromsgrove District Council and Stratford on Avon District Council. 

Applicants who may wish to register for properties in Wyre Forest District Council area will need to register on the Council's new website: Home - Wyre Forest
