LSHA Featured In WHFP
Lochalsh and Skye Housing Association recently featured in the West Highland Free Press, highlighting our ambitious plans to help tackle the housing shortage in Portree. The article showcases our commitment to delivering much-needed affordable homes and supporting the long-term sustainability of communities across Skye, Raasay and Lochalsh.
Raasay Opening
Raasay Phase 2 Cottages Park, providing six high‑quality new homes for affordable rent to local residents. The development marks another major milestone in our long‑term commitment to delivering sustainable, community‑focused housing on the island.
Margaret Ferguson
Housed at our new development on Raasay.
Margaret lived in her own privately-owned 2 bedroom house on Raasay since 1973, and worked as the Nurse on Raasay for over 35 years. More recently, after becoming a widow, Margaret lived alone in the family home. The property was in need of renovation, having a lack of insulation and no central heating, meaning it was expensive to heat.
Key Workers Lease
We currently have 14 properties leased to the NHS Highland for employees, seven to the Highland Council for temporary homeless accommodation, three to Compass who are due to start working on our Home Farm new build development soon, two to Police Scotland and one to Rosshire Women's Aid.
Digital Switchover
The Handyperson Services were tasked to switch all analogue Telecare units and replace them with the new digital units. We currently have between 250 and 300 units throughout the Skye & Lochalsh area.
Communal Entrances
Please help to keep your shared areas safe by not leaving anything in these areas. Staircases and corridors are the routes for fire fighters to get in as well as for you and your neighbours to get out. Items (like those pictured below) that are left in stairwells or corridors could fuel a fire or become serious obstacles, especially if the area is smoke-filled or dark.
Fire Doors
Fire doors play an important role in keeping everyone safe by helping to slow the spread of fire and toxic smoke within a building. A fire door includes the door itself, the frame, and all its fittings such as locks, hinges and closers – all designed to resist fire for a set period of time.
