Rural housing issues

We provide a range of services to help those living in rural areas. This section provides advice on:

• New homes - if you need a home, or belong to a rural community where you think there is a need for new homes.
• Improving properties – information on improving your property.
• Communities - how your community can tell us about rural housing issues, and information on our Rural Residents Forum.
• Independent living - if you are faced with homelessness in a rural area, or your home needs adaptations to help you live there.
• Rural development - how housing can contribute to broader regeneration and development.
