Housing options appraisal tool (HOOP)
Why not take a few minutes to review what matters most for you. Our HOOP tool has been devised to do just that: it asks you questions about different aspects of where and how you live now. You can answer as many or few as you like. It then provides suggestions to help you resolve any problems you have identified.
