Birmingham City Council (24 016 565)
Statement Upheld Allocations 11-Jun-2025
Summary: Miss X complained that the Council kept closing Mr B’s housing applications. We find that the Council closed Mr B’s applications without allowing him to explain why he could not provide the documents it was requesting to support his application. Then, after it was aware of his circumstances, it again requested evidence he was unable to provide. These failings caused Miss X and Mr B frustration. However, there was no fault in the way the Council decided that Mr B did not qualify to join the Council’s housing register. The Council has agreed to apologise to Mr B and Miss X and to make service improvements.
