Comhairle signs affordable housing agreement with Hebridean Housing Partnership
Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, in partnership with Hebridean Housing Partnership (HHP), has approved its Affordable Housing Programme for 2018/19.
Work is expected to begin later this year on two new housing developments on Harris.
A total of eight 2 bedroom flats will be built on the site of the former Police Station in Tarbert.
A second development will commence in Horgabost with four new houses for sale to first time buyers. These houses will be built by HHP through the Shared Equity Scheme.
It will be the first Shared Equity housing development in Harris.
As well as these two developments, the Comhairle and HHP are also carrying out feasibility studies on a number of other sites in Harris. The results from these feasibility studies will help inform the Affordable Housing programme for next financial year.
