Local Authority Housing

Angus Council Housing

Angus Council is committed to meeting the following targets:

• New build mainstream housing
• New build Local Authority sheltered accommodation
• Modernisation of existing Local Authority property
• Conversion of existing Local Authority property to homeless accommodation

Angus Council currently delivers a good housing management service, a strong property management service and a fair homelessness service.

The housing department's allocations policy aims to address local housing needs, giving priority to those with the greatest housing need and those whose current accommodation does not meet their needs. Local authority housing provides accommodation services for six principle groups: statutory homeless, care and support, medical, no secure tenancy, general needs and those wishing to relocate to Angus.

To find out more about Local Authority Housing in Angus go to the housing section of the Angus Council website.

Local authority housing is available to anyone aged 16, providing he or she meets one of the following criteria:

• Living in the area
• Works or has been offered work in the area
• Wishes to move to the area to look for work
• Is at least 60 years old or is in poor health and want to move to the area to live nearer a younger relative
• Has special social or medical needs and wants to live locally
• Wishes to move to the area to provide care support to a relative who already lives there
