How to apply to our Waiting list.
Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield Waiting Lists
South Yorkshire Housing Association Housing Waiting Lists closed on 5th May 2008. It is expected that these lists will remain closed indefinitely. This is because we have only a small number of properties becoming available and we have very high numbers of applicants wishing to apply to us. Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to help everyone. However, existing applicants will remain on the list and our current tenants will still continue to apply directly to us.
How to find a home with us
New applicants wishing to find a home with South Yorkshire Housing Association can do so by applying to the Local Authority Housing Register in the area in which they wish to be housed.

Looking for a Mutual Exchange?
If you are currently a Council or Housing Association tenant it may be possible for you to apply for a mutual exchange: This is where two (or more) tenants decide to swap their properties, and it can often be a much faster way of moving then applying to join a waiting list.
Our Sheffield and Rotherham offices (as well as some councils) keep lists of local tenants who are looking to move. You can view these, and apply to add your property to the list. If you find a possible match there will be details on how to contact the other party.
You will however always need the permission of the landlord(s) before swapping.
There are also Government recommended websites where you can register if you want to swap homes, even with someone in a different part of the country. Please note some of these websites may charge a fee to register.
