WE’RE CONSULTING ON OUR HOUSING ALLOCATIONS POLICY AND WANT TO HEAR YOUR VIEWS!

The Housing (Scotland) Act 2014 introduces changes to the way in which all Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) allocate their empty properties. Specifically, it stipulates the three categories of people who must be given reasonable preference:

• Homeless or threatened with homelessness
• Unsatisfactory housing conditions with unmet housing needs
• Under-occupying RSL Tenants

We have developed our new policy (Consultation Draft here) to ensure we are compliant with all relevant legislation; address housing need; make the best use of housing stock; and serve the community.

YOUR VIEWS SHAPE OUR SERVICES so please take the time to provide your feedback via our online survey
 (Survey here)

We are holding a final consultation event to gather more thoughts on our Housing Allocations Policy Review:

Date: Wednesday 6 March
Time: 6pm – 7pm
Location: Our offices, 5 Royal Crescent, G3 7SL

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the tenancy services team who will be happy to assist.
