At all Highland Council Service Points, you can:
If you are a council tenant and have an emergency repair to report outside office hours which are 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, you can phone the emergency housing number - 08457 002005.
Finding Housing: because we have many more households on the waiting lists than we are able to accommodate in council housing, we have developed A Guide to Housing Options, which gives information on the various ways of finding housing in Highland.
Homelessness: if you become homeless, please contact a housing officer to obtain advice and information. You can contact the Inverness Housing and Property Office direct, go to the Inverness Service Point to speak to the housing officer on duty there or you can ask at the Service Point above to be put in contact with a housing officer. If you become homeless outside office hours, please phone the emergency housing number - 08457 002005, so that the standby officer can help you access emergency accommodation.

The Council respects the rights of Gypsy/Travellers to maintain their travelling way of life. There are 4 sites in Highland, owned by the Council, which provide accommodation and related services for Gypsy/Travellers. We recognise that sometimes Gypsy/Travellers camp on other land. We have developed a protocol in line with Scottish Government guidelines that we will follow when responding to unauthorised camping by Gypsy/Travellers.
Housing and Property staff will respond to unauthorised camping on council land in the Culloden and Ardersier Ward.
