There are a few ways that someone can become an IDS resident. These are:
Local Authority nominations
You will need to be registered with one of our partner local authorities and they will nominate applicants based on their own criteria.
Direct applicants for sheltered housing
We have open waiting lists for our sheltered housing schemes in Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Redbridge. You will need to be over the age of 60 to apply and will need to register with us to be placed on our sheltered housing list.
Direct applicants
You can apply directly to us for a tenancy. However, please note that we are only able to allocate a very small number of properties in this way, and you should also register with your local authority to increase your chances of being offered a home.
Referral agencies
We work with partner agencies working in the Jewish community and with organisations who work with victims of domestic abuse and provide a small number of tenancies in this way each year.
