Housing

Orkney Islands Council aims to provide good, value for money, housing for our tenants – and to offer a high standard of service to those on our housing waiting list.

We are here to assist any person who may be homeless. And by working closely with partner agencies, such as Orkney Housing Association, we seek to ensure that quality housing is available for the communities we serve.

More information is available from the links in the menu to the left of this page, including articles and information related to: Housing, including Council Tax, Benefits, Housing Benefit, Homelessness, Private Sector Landlords and Social and Sheltered Housing.
