Doncaster

Direct Match

There will be certain circumstances when vacant properties will not be allocated in the usual way.  There are some situations where Doncaster HomeChoice may need to use vacant properties for specific management purposes and the qualifying person will normally receive one reasonable offer of accommodation.  This is called a Direct Match.  All Direct Match Lets will be assessed by the Housing Assessment Panel before a decision is made.

All Direct Match properties will be clearly identified and advertised in the normal way, but you will not be able to bid on these properties.

Examples of Direct Match include;

• Properties allocated through the Accessible Housing Register;
• Multi-agency Public Protection Agreement;  
• Discretionary succession;
• Where an emergency plan has been put into place.
