Housing associations support declaration of Argyll and Bute housing emergency

Chairs, vice chairs and chief executives of the four housing associations

The chairpersons of four Argyll and Bute housing associations met last week to commend and support the recent declaration by Argyll and Bute Council of a ‘housing emergency’ for the region.

Senior members of Argyll Community Housing Association, Dunbritton Housing Association, Fyne Homes and West Highland Housing Association discussed how they can help and unanimously agreed to support the council in whatever way they can.

Tackling the housing crisis is a top priority for the associations and they agreed to work closely together, and with, Argyll and Bute Council to take forward initiatives and create innovative solutions that will assist.

In a joint statement by the chairpersons of the four associations, they stated: “We know that the housing emergency in Argyll and Bute is about people. Not being able to secure suitable affordable housing is detrimental to people’s lives. We stand together with Argyll and Bute Council to find ways to improve and increase housing options across the area.”
