Sheltered housing and designated elderly schemes

Barnet Homes manages a number of sheltered housing and designated elderly schemes for tenants aged 60 and over. There are some exceptions where we will allow younger people to move through these schemes.

Both schemes give you extra support and protection, including our 24-hour pull cord Assist alarm system, to help you continue to lead an independent life. The schemes also provide opportunities for social activities and friendship.

Seaside and Country Homes

The Seaside and Country Homes Scheme helps Council and Housing Association tenants to move out of London.

There are one and two bedroom properties available in areas across the country, including in Lincolnshire, Devon, Cornwall and Essex. The scheme also helps households to find properties in rural areas.

You may qualify for the scheme if you are:

  • A single person aged 60 or over. Or,
  • A two-person household where at least one of you is over 60. Any members of the household who are aged under 60 must either be the partner, joint tenant or registered carer of the lead applicant.
