A consultation on Cherwell’s Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy is taking place from 30 November 2020 to 17 January 2021 and we would very much like to hear your thoughts and opinions.

Extra Care Housing schemes throughout Cherwell currently have properties available to rent. Please contact Oxfordshire County Council’s Adult Social Care Team for more information on 03450 507 666, option 1. Vacancies are available at schemes in Banbury, Yarnton and Kidlington. There is a wait for the scheme in Bicester.
You will usually need to have some form of care need in order to be eligible for Extra Care Housing and your care needs will be assessed by Oxfordshire County Council's Adult Social Care Team. Extra Care schemes are not residential care homes and can be ideal if you have some support needs but want to remain independent. They offer self-contained accommodation within a larger complex where flexible care and support is available on site 24 hours a day.
Please note that if your landlord is seeking to end your tenancy, the rules around notice periods have changed due to the coronavirus outbreak. Since September 2020 many notices must now give at least 6 months’ notice.
For more information please see the guidance for landlords and tenants section on the main Cherwell District Council website: www.cherwell.gov.uk/info/258/coronavirus
