               district of Scarborough.

Applicants must be able to demonstrate a Housing Need. i.e. Your current accommodation is unsuitable and you cannot afford to buy or rent suitable accommodation in the Glaisdale Parish,( including all of Fryupdale and Houlsyke).

Why is your current accommodation unsuitable?

           o I am employed in the Locality and have to travel too far to work

           o The housing costs of my current home take up too much of the current income.

           o Frequently used village amenities are difficult to access due to Age/Disability etc.

               normal household running costs including rates, services, and maintenance; 

           o We are currently owner/ occupiers, but we are legally unable to remain in our 

               current home and the sale of said home would not realise sufficient funds to 

               enable a suitable property to be purchased in the Locality.
