Renting a home
Somer Community Housing Trust (the Trust) owns and manages
around 9,700 homes. The majority of these are in the City,
towns and villages across Bath and North East Somerset. We
also own and manage some homes in South Gloucestershire, Wiltshire
and Mendip.
We aim to provide and maintain a consistently good quality and
choice of housing at an affordable rent. We offer homes
to:
- Single People
- Couples
- Families
- People who need support or extra care to maintain their tenancy
and to live a vibrant lifestyle, e.g. people with physical
disabilities, learning difficulties, mental ill health or other
support requirements
- Our tenants are from a wide age range from 18 years upwards, we
do on occasion provide housing to 16 and 17 years olds where a
guarantor is in place
We do not hold our own waiting list. If you would like to
apply for a Trust home you will need to apply to the Choice Based
Lettings schemes run by the Local Authority in the area(s) you wish
to live in.

Reasons why we may not offer you a property
We are unlikely to offer you a home if you lost your previous
home because you did not pay the rent and still have outstanding
debts, caused anti-social behaviour or did not look after your home
or need additional help and support to manage your tenancy but
refuse to accept the support.
