Crawley Borough Council declared a housing crisis in February 2024. As a result, it means that the wait time for social rented housing in the Crawley is longer than it has ever been with many people waiting several years and in some cases much longer to be housed. The demand far outstrips the number of council homes becoming available, with the supply being the lowest it has even been in the borough.
Before you apply to join the housing register, you need to read the information we have provided. If you are accepted onto the housing register you will need to be prepared to wait a very long time before you are offered social housing. If you are on the housing register already, the wait time page gives you an indication of how long you need to be prepared to wait before being offered housing.
