The six main providers of rented accommodation (five housing associations operating in the Highlands - Albyn, Cairn, Lochaber, Lochalsh & Skye, and Pentland, together with The Highland Council) use a single housing register.
This process means that people who want to be housed by the Council or any of the housing associations with housing in the Highlands only have to fill in a single form.
Helen Barton, Housing and Communities Director, said: "The Highland Housing Register is a really exciting initiative that makes it easier for people to apply for housing. Applicants now have the same number of points for their application with each landlord. The housing organisations in the Highlands are among very few to have taken this unique common approach. We think it reflects the strong culture of working together to find better ways of providing services for people in the Highlands and we are very proud to have played our part in this."
If any applicants have any queries regarding the form or the policy rules, please contact our allocations team in Invergordon for further information.
