Housing Options Scotland is delighted to be going out on tour this Autumn, with dates in Dundee, Aberdeen, Ayr, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
The tour gives us a great opportunity to meet with individuals in person to offer advice and support on their housing issues, and to meet with new and existing partners in health, housing and across the third sector.
Housing Options Scotland is the only housing advice charity to work across all local authorities in Scotland and across all tenures from homelessness to ownership. Its team of expert brokers provides person-centred support and advice on selling and buying, private or social renting, sheltered housing, housing for older adults, adapting homes, veterans housing and homelessness.
The tour has two sessions in each city stop:
The morning sessions (10am-12.30pm) are for individuals looking for housing advice, with the opportunity to register to get further 1-to-1 support.
The afternoon sessions (1.30pm-4pm) are for professionals who work in housing (or related fields) to find out more about Housing Options Scotland. As well as taking referrals for bespoke casework service, the charity also provides training and consultancy to housing associations, local authorities and third sector organisations.
All sessions will be attended by staff team members, volunteers and board members, as well as former clients who have been helped by the charity to find a home that suits their needs. Light refreshments will be provided.
Moira Bayne, CEO of Housing Options Scotland says:
“We are thrilled to have this opportunity to go out to five cities across Scotland to meet people face-to-face to help with questions on housing. This is individuals who need direct support and advice to help them navigate an often complex housing system, but also professionals in the housing sector who can refer clients to us or who we can work with to develop ways of helping more people into the right homes.”
