Stevenson Backs Work of Housing Organisation to Help North-East Residents

Banffshire and Buchan Coast MSP Stewart Stevenson has met with an organisation which helps people access housing options throughout the North-East.

Housing Options Scotland works with older people, disabled people and members of the armed forces.

The organisation attended the Scottish Parliament to meet with MSPs and outline the work they carry out.

It provides people with access to a named housing broker who works with them to identify potential solutions to their housing issues.

Commenting, Stewart Stevenson MSP said:

“Housing Options Scotland helps people sometimes for a few weeks and often for a number of years as they look to make improvement and changes to their housing arrangements.

“It is incredibly important work which helps many people in need. The process of changing living arrangements can be incredibly stressful and providing access to expertise and a support network is essential.

“I welcome the work of Housing Options Scotland and I look forward to finding out even more about how they operate in Banffshire and Buchan Coast.”
