Jersey’s Minister for Housing has announced plans to expand eligibility criteria for people who need social housing.
Deputy Sam Mézec has set out the next phase of a “roadmap” to make social housing more accessible and responsive to islanders’ needs. Changes include lowering the threshold for applicants without children from 25 to 18.
He said the changes would “open the door to more islanders” and allow more people to apply for social rented housing.
“This next phase of the roadmap reflects our commitment to respond to evolving housing needs and make social housing more inclusive,” said Mézec.
