Shared temporary tenancies

We offer shared temporary tenancies to people who are homeless. This gives you a better standard of temporary housing at a lower cost.

Who this is for

  • homeless applicants in Ross-shire and Fort William
  • people willing to share a 2-bedroom flat or house with one other person
  • people who can manage a shared tenancy without problems

Why share

Sharing can make temporary housing more affordable and comfortable:

  • rent and bills are split between two people
  • you only share with one person, not several
  • we help you find someone to share with
  • we support you to settle in
  • you can lock your bedroom door for peace of mind
  • your homeless rights stay the same

Many people are choosing to share and finding that it works well.
