Finding Housing: because we have many more households on the waiting lists than we are able to accommodate in council housing, we hve 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 contact the Nairn Housing and Property Office direct by phone or letter 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 Nairn Ward.
