Housing Policies

Our housing policies guide the work we do, so that we deliver an effective and efficient housing service to you.

We develop and revise our policies when there are changes in legislation, Scottish Government and / or the Scottish Housing Regulator requirements. Management decisions, public concerns and tenant feedback is also used to inform policy development and reviews.

Protocols

Armed services referral (PDF): The process we use for jointly working with the Ministry of Defence’s Joint Services Housing Advice Organisation (JSHAO) to make sure that Armed Forces Personnel receive appropriate housing advice upon their discharge from the forces, to help with their transition back into the community.

Prison referral (PDF): The process which has been developed with various prisons throughout Scotland, to establish the necessary process for those being released from prison. This aims to achieve better housing outcomes for offenders.

MHSCP hospital discharge (PDF): This process has been developed by Moray Health And Social Care Partnership (MHSCP) with significant input from the housing service to ensure a patients housing situation is identified and dealt with appropriately during their time in hospital or upon their discharge.
