Crawley Borough Council declared a housing crisis in February 2024, as the demand for housing far outstrips the supply. The wait time for social housing is longer than it has ever been, with many people waiting several years and in some cases much longer to be housed. For more information about how long it might take to receieve an offer of housing, check the wait time page.
Please note, submitting a false, misleading, or fraudulent application is a serious offence, and may result in immediate removal from the housing register, termination of a tenancy obtained through deception, legal prosecution (which may result in a criminal record, substantial fine or imprisonment).
