"Stuck in limbo between social housing and cost rental schemes, people are looking at other options including emigration"
"After being rejected multiple times for cost rental housing, Robert Nolan and Valentina Clulow are considering emigrating."
"Cost rental schemes are designed to support those who cannot afford to buy a home, but earn too much to qualify for social housing."
Many people are stuck in a gap between social housing and cost rental schemes because income levels make them ineligible for social housing while remaining unable to afford homeownership. Repeated rejections from cost rental applications have led some applicants, such as Robert Nolan and Valentina Clulow, to consider emigrating as a way to secure affordable housing. Cost rental schemes aim to provide mid-range rental options for households who fall between existing policy thresholds. Insufficient supply and strict eligibility criteria leave affected households with few realistic domestic options, prompting consideration of relocation abroad or alternative housing arrangements.
