Are applications to join the waiting list refused when applicants are deemed unable to afford the rent? If so, how many households were refused on that basis in 2024/25?3. Do you make a financial assessment of households pre-tenancy to assess if the applicant can afford the rent? If so, how many households were refused a tenancy in 2024/25 on the grounds that they were deemed unable to afford the rent?5. Do you have a 'Greenlight for Housing' process for applicants who are refused a tenancy on the grounds of insufficient income, whereby you assist them to improve their finances to be able to qualify for a tenancy in a later bid?6. If you have such a process do people who refuse to participate in it have their application for a tenancy voided?
