At Dunbritton we are committed to helping reduce homelessness in the communities where we have housing.

As part of our statutory responsibility to work with the local authorities of West Dunbartonshire and Argyll and Bute, we offer 50% of any houses that become available for let each year. This means that individuals and households in high housing need are given priority for re-housing. If you are homeless or threatened with homelessness please contact the numbers below:

Other Housing Options - Shared Ownership

Dunbritton Housing Association has a number of Shared Ownership properties within Dumbarton and Alexandria. Shared Ownership offers customers the opportunity to buy a part share of the property (between 25% and 75%) and then pay an affordable rent to the Association. There are certain criteria that you have to meet to be considered for shared ownership property. An explanation of eligibility criteria and more about Shared Ownership can be found here Shared Ownership.pdf.

To apply for shared ownership please complete a Home Argyll housing application, and tick the box next to the question “Would you be interested in receiving information about shared ownership properties?” We will then notify you if any suitable properties become available for sale.

What happens to my application after I have applied for Housing?

When you complete your online application it is then allocated to one of the Home Argyll partners for assessment. You will receive a letter asking you for information to enable your application to be processed. Once your application has been processed you will receive a letter detailing your points.  Our target to respond to you is 28 days.
