Hjaltland Housing Association is the main independent housing agency in the Shetland Islands. We aim to provide quality and affordable housing for people in housing need, including those with special needs.

We have a commitment to working with the local authority to ensure that housing is available to all parts of Shetland. We aim to ensure that remote communities remain viable and encourage such communities to take part in the management of the Association. Through our One Stop Shop we also act as agents for Communities Scotland, providing grants to first-time builders, and for the Shetland Islands Council providing Private Sector Housing Grants for repairs and improvements.

We currently manage over 410 houses for rent or shared ownership, which includes general needs, sheltered and amenity, and other special needs housing.

The Association is a member of the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations, and is registered with Communities Scotland (Reg. No. HAL 127). We are also a registered Friendly Society (Reg. No. 1832 R(S) ) and a registered charity (No. SC 031954).
