Allocations Policy
When bidding closes the system will sort bids by the applicant's effective date which is the applicant waiting longest for a particular size and type of property. It will then identify the applicant with the greatest housing need. The order is those with Additional Preference and then those with Reasonable preference and finally those who have no Reasonable Preference.
