Alternating between internal and external waiting lists – unit allocation

Woodsworth alternates between waiting lists for units of the same size.

This is based on the Membership: Membership: Member Approval and Unit Allocation Bylaw Article 4.1].

Management must follow the bylaw when units become available.

1.  Woodsworth has two waiting lists – internal and external.

Explainers

Internal:

For information about how the internal waiting list works, see Relocation, the internal waiting list and unit allocation

External:

For information about the external waiting list, see External Waiting Lists and moving into Woodsworth

Priority internal waiting list:

The priority internal waiting list is separate and is not part of the rotation but relates to human rights and accommodation.  See Priority waiting list 
See also 2 (f).

2.  How alternating works

(a)  The co-operative will fill vacancies alternately from the internal and external waiting lists unless there is someone with established special priority for that sized unit. See Article 5.2.1 about priority list.

(b)  Alternation of waiting lists applies to all sized units: 1, 2. 3 and 4 bedroom units.

(c)  One (1) of each unit size will be filled from the internal waiting list and then the next available of that unit size will be filled from the external waiting list. Each unit size (bedroom) waiting list operates independently.

(d)  One bedroom units will be filled alternately between the one bedroom internal and external waiting lists.

Two bedroom units will be filled alternately between the two bedroom internal and external waiting lists.

Three bedroom units will be filled alternately between the three bedroom internal and external waiting lists.

Four bedroom units will be filled alternately between the four bedroom internal and external waiting lists

(e)  If no one on the appropriate waiting list is qualified for or accepts the available unit, the alternate waiting list for that size unit will be used.

(f)  Only moves from the regular internal and external waiting lists count for alternating between internal and external wait lists.
– A priority move doesn’t count as an internal move.
– Allocation of wheelchair adapted units does not count as an internal or external move.
