The MOD Referral Scheme is coordinated by the Joint Service Housing Advice Office to assist some service leavers to get accommodation via housing associations…
Some housing associations ask the Joint Service Housing Advice Office (JSHAO) to nominate resettling military personnel as tenants for vacant properties. Being on the MOD Referral Scheme provides an additional route to secure housing.
The MOD have recognised that some service leavers have difficulty in accessing social and affordable housing. Through this scheme the donating housing associations are able to help people who otherwise may have problems being prioritised high enough to have a realistic chance of being housed by local authorities:
- those who have difficulty proving a local connection
- couples with no children
- single personnel
All applicants are strongly advised to contact their local authority housing department and other housing associations and to consider all housing options in addition to applying for the scheme.
