Housing Process

Step 1

Please contact us by either, phone, email or post if you are interested in finding out more about becoming a resident or complete the form at the bottom of the page and leave a message.

Step 2

We will then telephone you to have a brief chat to see if you fit the criteria of becoming a resident.

Step 3

We will then invite you to join us at a Thursday Coffee Morning so you can see some of our residents and we can show you around our complex. You are welcome to bring a friend/relative with you. If we have an empty property we will show you around this.

Step 4

If you want to move further in the process we will give you an application form to complete and return to us.

Step 5

When a vacancy arises the Trustee Housing Committee will look at all the applicants and decide who best fulfils the criteria of Sheffield Firth Almshouses and who would benefit most from joining our community.

Step 6

A member of the Housing Committee will contact you to arrange to visit you in your own home and interview you.

Step 7

A reference will be asked for from the person nominated by yourself.

Step 8

You will be informed by telephone after the visit and return of a suitable reference whether you are to be offered a dwelling.

Step 9

A Letter of Appointment and Licence to Occupy will be sent to you for you to sign and return if you wish to take up the offer.
