Housing Options Scotland provides a public access service to all disabled people throughout Scotland. We do not directly provide housing, what we do provide is detailed information and advice that will enable you to find the right home for you. Housing Options Scotland has three main areas of activity. Firstly, we directly assist disabled people by advising them on, and supporting them through, the complex design, financial and legal processes involved in buying or renting a property. Secondly, we provide information, advice and training on housing and disability issues to the public, private and voluntary sectors to improve the service disabled people get. Finally, we raise the awareness of the problems disabled people face in relation to their housing, and highlight the solutions and opportunities that exist.
