NHT 5% Housing Allocation
5% of units in every new NHT development
The National Housing Trust reserves 5% of the units in every new housing development for persons with disabilities who are registered with the JCPD — or for contributors who have a child registered with the JCPD. When a new development is advertised, you apply through the Council during its intake period for the reserved units, which typically opens after the general intake period has ended. I applied through this allocation and was awarded a housing scheme unit, which I pay a mortgage on every month — a mortgage that is low compared with others in my scheme. Because I have walked the whole path, I can explain in plain language what the allocation is, whether you may qualify, what documents you will need, and how the intake timing works.

From my own experience
I received an NHT scheme house through this allocation and pay a monthly mortgage that is low compared with others in my scheme.
