FAQ s in London & Quadrant’s Website Housing association
How do I apply for an L&Q home?
We do not accept direct applications. You need to register with your local council who will hold a list of those in need of housing.
Is L&Q the same as the council?
No we are an independent organisation, but we do work closely with councils to help house those who need an affordable home. L&Q, like other housing associations, has to obey government rules on housing through the Housing Corporation.
Are you a keyworker or would you like to buy a home?
Contact L&Q’s sister company Tower Homes about affordable home ownership and Keyworker schemes. Their freephone number is 080 0056 3601. On Tower's website (www.towerhomes.org.uk) you can look up homes that are available to buy, or part-buy, even if you are not that well paid. Tower’s homes are reserved for council tenants, housing association tenants, essential workers, those on a council list and still waiting for a home or first time buyers. Tower can give you clear and honest advice on whether you can afford to buy or part-buy their homes
What would be "council" in that context? Knowing that "council tenant" is locataire d’un logement social.I would like to know if there is a specific term.Thanks.

This would be correct for Belgium and I think also for Switzerland. In France I bieleve it is the 'municipalité'.
