Help with overcrowding
We want everyone to live in homes with enough space. Our overcrowding advisors can visit you in your home to find out what you need and work out the best way we can help
Your options for moving into a bigger home
- Apply for a transfer. If your home is severely overcrowded you can apply to transfer to a bigger home.
- Swap homes with a family that have spare rooms through a mutual exchange. Find out more in the Smart Move leaflet at the bottom of the page.
