'When demand for social housing far outreaches supply, housing providers in Scotland should have a duty to meet the needs of disabled people in the communities they serve. This means that they must know the needs of disabled people first before developing new houses'
Susie Fitton, Senior Policy Advisor
Are you disabled or is someone who lives with you disabled? You can help to inform the Highland Council and Scottish Government about the housing needs of disabled people.
You can get involved by taking part in consultations either as an individual or as a member of a tenants group - you can also take part in our online discussion areas and have your views heard
You CAN make a difference!
Help and Advice
If you are a council tenant and your home is not suitable for you or the person with the disability and does not meet your needs, then visit the equipment and adaptions area of the Highland Council web site
Help and advice is also available from the following organisations:
Shelter Scotland
Inclusion Scotland
Capability Scotland
If you live in private housing this booklet from the Scottish Government may be useful
