Waiting list terms
Please only apply for the bedroom size you need and not for any of the CLOSED lists.
If any applications are received for a CLOSED list, they will be disregarded and deleted.
As a small housing Co-op we have small housing stock and very low turnover and therefore our list is not open very often. As a member and volunteer led co-op, we do not have resources to keep contact details for anyone wanting to be informed when our list is open, so please check this site for when the list might be open.
You MUST live or work in the Waterloo area.
Please do not write EHH Co-op directly as your letter or email will not be processed.
Please check back periodically, as the list will reopen at some point in the future.
How to apply to the Waiting List
Applicants to the Waiting List must demonstrate and provide evidence of all of the following:

IMPORTANT: Please be aware that by applying to join EHH Waiting List when it is open, is not a guarantee that you will be housed. It is a waiting list and not suitable for someone in acute housing need. Our main criteria for allocation a property is based on housing need and not how long you have been on the list. We therefore strongly advise and encourage applying for housing with other co-ops/housing associations/Lambeth to keep your options open. Please check out some links below that may be of use
