Housing Allocations Policy

Published: Tuesday 18 August 2026

Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council and its housing partners are reviewing part of the Living Merthyr Tydfil Allocations Policy.

We are proposing a change to how adapted homes are allocated.

 

Adapted homes are properties that have features such as:

•Wheelchair access

•Level access showers

•Stairlifts

•Hoists

•Other specialist adaptations

 

The proposed change would:

•Create a separate priority category for people who need adapted homes.

•Ensure adapted homes are offered first to people whose needs have been assessed and confirmed.

•Help make best use of adapted housing.

 

We would like your views before any decision is made. Please complete online survey here - Housing Allocations Policy Consultation
