Housing Advice and Information Strategy

The Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 imposes on local authorities new duties in relation to the provision of housing advice and information. Guidance from Communities Scotland suggests the development of a Housing Advice and Information Strategy as the best way of complying with these duties.

South Ayrshire Council’s Housing Advice and Information Strategy has been developed following a review of housing advice and information provision in the Council’s area and in consultation with a wide range of partners and service users.

By working in partnership with other advice and information providers this strategy aims to develop a co-ordinated approach to the provision of housing advice and information.

This Council is committed to working towards the prevention and alleviation of homelessness in South Ayrshire. Access to quality accurate advice and assistance is an important element in the prevention of homelessness and in enabling service users to make informed choices on their housing options.

This strategy will assist the council meet this commitment by ensuring that quality housing advice and information is freely available to all residents in South Ayrshire.
