Elderly and disabled - housing support From installing a ramp in someone's home to providing an older person with a community alarm, improved security or a sheltered house, housing support involves services that enable people to live in their own homes in their local community. |
HomeHappening - housing investment programme South Lanarkshire Council is improving its council houses via the HomeHappening housing programme in conjunction with CCG (Scotland) (Ltd). CCG (Scotland) (Ltd) is a Cambuslang-based building company that has grown into one of the largest construction organisations in Scotland. |
Homelessness Homelessness can happen to anyone from any background. We provide a range of services to prevent you from becoming homeless and to help you if you do become homeless. |
Local Housing Strategy (LHS) The Local Housing Strategy (LHS) sets out how the Council and its partners will ensure our area has good quality housing of the right tenure, type and size in the right places to meet the needs and aspirations of residents. |

Private sector housing - grants, factoring and landlords
Many houses in the private sector need repairs and improvements. A recent Scottish Housing Condition Survey has estimated that 38% of private housing in South Lanarkshire need repairs totalling £400m. This financial year the council has over £6m to assist with repairs and improvements in the private sector. |
Rent and Housing Benefit South Lanarkshire Council has around 25,500 tenants. Many of the rents collected are subsidised by the Department for Work and Pensions through Housing Benefit and we can help tenants with their claim. We also give advice to those who are facing financial difficulty and are having problems paying their rent, as well as giving advice to the tenants of private landlords. |
