Housing banding system

Housing banding system needs to be look at on a more individual case. Medical info and waits should be taken in to account. 

Why the contribution is important

Because people with medical note & health conditions are being put to the same waitlists yet health conditions deterriate. Is this fair ?

    Housing bands need to consider all individual needs.
    People with health needs/ disabilities:-
    - not all disabilities will be linked to regular medical professionals but it doesn’t make their needs any less.
    - availability of suitable properties e.g ground floor accommodation. Most councils ear mark elder people’s properties which tend to be small bungalows..this isn’t always suitable as today people are working to 68..so elderly properties may not be suitable for the working person.
    You need 1 and 2 bed properties availability for the elderly e.g. cater for a carer now or in future, if family live away. Also bear in mind it costs a lot to move house which a lot of elderly/ disabled won’t have so get it right at the start.

    We need a better system to allocate homes, downsizing is not seen as a priority so you have people in family homes desperate to downsize to a one bed property some will also be being bed taxed but the current system says they are adequately housed despite under occupying.
    There are needs to me more human interaction and common sense applied not a computer algorithm
