Availability of Housing Stock

We have nearly 680 homes for rent 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 2022 gives more information on how we allocate houses. We maintain our own housing list.
