Council Housing

Housing owns and maintains 12,973 houses for rent throughout Aberdeenshire - approximately 13% of all housing in the area (end January 2009).

The number of Council houses has been reducing each year due to Council house sales. At the end of January 2009, there were 7,000 people on the Council waiting list. In 2007/08 applications from 1,587 homeless individuals or households were considered.
