Availability of Housing Stock

We have just over 650 homes for rent in the area and each year between 30 and 40 of these become available for re-let. 

Here are our current housing stock locations.  

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.
