Applying for a House

Council and Housing Association options

Housing Bird House

Shetland Islands Council and Hjaltland Housing Association provide housing for general need, sheltered housing and temporary accommodation for those who are homeless in Shetland.

A Housing Application can be made to both organisations to be placed on their registers (lists). Council houses are allocated as per our Allocation Policy. Take a look at how the Council's Housing Register works.  For details on Hjaltland Housing Association's Allocation process, please see the HHA Allocation Policy.
