The Council and Hjaltland's 'Nominations' Agreement
A new Nomination agreement has been established between Hjaltland and the Council. The new approach aims to improve the nomination arrangements between the two organisations. Fifty percent of properties let by Hjaltland each year will be allocated through this new nomination arrangement. The new approach will follow the choice based lettings system with all properties advertised in the Shetland Times and on Hjaltland's website. The properties to be let through the nomination arrangement will be advertised as either SIC Nomination general needs applicants or SIC Nomination homeless applicants.
