Looking to rent in the Southampton area? Need some advice?

HousingInSouthampton.com was created after research showed that people moving into the Southampton area, particularly those from black and minority ethnic communities, didn’t have a clear idea of where to get help. Southampton Affordable Housing Partnership and Southampton’s BME Housing Steering Group set up the website which includes a downloadable information pack to help with everything from getting a job to finding a place at a local school. www.housinginsouthampton.com
