Local Priority Access Status – Urgent Safety

The Registry may assign your application Local Priority Access Status as an Urgent Safety household if:

You, or someone in your household, are currently being abused by a family member or by a former partner that you have not lived with in the past three months.
Your personal safety, or the safety of someone in your household, is under ongoing or extraordinary threat and moving to a new home will make you safe.

If this situation applies to you, please provide documents that help prove your personal safety is at risk. The documents can be letters from:

A doctor
A lawyer
A law enforcement officer
A member of the clergy
A guidance counselor
An individual in a managerial or administrative position with a social housing provider
A community health worker
A social worker
A social service worker
A victim services worker
A settlement services worker
A shelter worker

The Registry will ask you to attend an interview with one of their staff.
