Applying for a council home

Social housing within the borough is provided by the council and by registered social landlords.

Ealing, like many London boroughs, has a severe shortage of homes compared with the number of people who need them. Currently we have over 13,000 applicants on our waiting list - also known as the housing register. Therefore people are encouraged to explore alternative housing options in order to obtain suitable housing.

If you need more information about these options please contact the housing choice and options team on (020) 8825 8800 or 7274 or visit FIRST STEPS.

If you are homeless or threatened with homelessness contact the housing solutions team on (020) 8825 8888.
