Availability of Housing Stock

We have just over 600 homes for rent in the area and each year between 30 and 40 of these become available for re-let.

We also have a development programme and some newly built properties may be available to let each year.

We aim to:

Give priority to people in housing need
Help prevent rural homelessness and deal with it when it arises
Make the best use of the housing available
Help to sustain and support the rural communities we work in

Our Allocations Policy 2019 gives more information on how we allocate houses.

Existing Tenants

Each year we allocate a proportion of our available homes to existing tenants who have a need to move to a home more suitable to their needs. If you are a tenant and wish to move please contact the office and to talk to your housing officer.

Nominations

To help ensure the widest access to our housing we have a Nominations Agreement with Stirling Council. Under this the Council is invited to nominate applicants from its housing list for up to 50% of our available properties (after transfers). We encourage all applicants to the Association to also apply for housing to Stirling Council. You can request an application form by
