Apply for social housing

Social housing can provide you with more affordable housing if you are on a lower income. It’s normally provided by your local council or social housing landlords. Find out more here.

Anyone can apply for social housing, but eligibility criteria apply. To determine your eligibility and the type of accommodation you may qualify for, contact the Knowsley Housing Solutions Service. 

Be prepared for extended waiting times due to high demand.

If you seek immediate housing, consider exploring private rental options within Knowsley.
