Housing choice for older or vulnerable people
Salford’s Housing Choice Service supports people aged over 50 or vulnerable people who are thinking about moving home.
The aim of this service is to offer a wide variety of housing choices and promote independence to all Salford residents whether you are a homeowner or living in rented accommodation. This is a free, no obligation service.
We can help you look into alternative housing options in finding the most suitable home for you.
This can include:
- Help with property searches
- Advice on benefits
- Liasing with other professionals
- Practical assistance to move
- Settling you into your new home
