We work with a range of housing developers and registered partners ('housing associations') to provide new, affordable housing across York.
This can include housing for people who have:
- a disability
- addiction or substance misuse issues
- other specific needs
You need to be registered with us to be considered for any affordable housing development, for rent or for sale, in York.
