The income threshold for access to social housing on Island has increased by £3,500.
Single residents with no children earning below £34,500 are now eligible to apply for a public sector house.
For joint applicants with three or more children the maximum is £50,500.
Tynwald approved the proposals which were brought forward by the Department of Infrastructure at its June sitting.
Douglas Councillor Devon Watson welcomed the increase but warned it’ll likely put more pressure on already stretched waitlists:
