Availability of Housing Stock
We have nearly 600 homes for rent in the area and each year between 30 and 40 of these become available for re-let. The location of our housing stock can be seen here. We also have some newly built properties to let each year – depending on our development programme.
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
