Our aim is:
A future where every disabled veteran in Scotland can thrive in a supportive and sustainable community. Veterans Housing Scotland, remaining dynamic, can make this vision a reality.
Working collaboratively, we will provide well-maintained, low-cost homes, compassionate tenancy support, and skills-building opportunities for long-term stability, ensuring a brighter, more independent future for each beneficiary we serve.
The charity is the largest military charity in Scotland, providing homes for disabled veterans. It owns and manages 632 homes for disabled veterans. We are committed to those who have served in our Armed Forces and made that selfless commitment to protecting our freedoms. We believe they deserve to be supported in their time of need. The very least we can do is ensure that all veterans have a roof over their heads and a place to call home that is safe, secure, and meets their needs.
Building lives: Building communities
Building Lives
We will build lives by providing houses for veterans who are disabled. Those whose military careers may have been cut short through injury, or whose circumstances may have changed later. We will:
- Support them through the application process and beyond.
- Work with them and their families as they prepare to move away from service life or experience changes in their circumstances for the more established veteran.
- Support their independence; however, be in a position to support their aspirations to build on a firm foundation and move forward positively.
Building Communities
We will build communities by encouraging and supporting our tenants to live alongside their neighbours/fellow Veterans. We will:
- Encourage the sharing of acts of kindness.
- Encourage the offering of the hand of friendship in supporting one another.
- Recognise and respect the diversity of our communities and support them in growing.
We are grateful for the support and contribution of those who have given so much to helping Veterans Housing Scotland achieve what it has to date. As we move forward, we say 'Thank you' to those Local Authorities who have worked with us in introducing the nomination rights scheme. We acknowledge that more work is required to achieve coverage Scotland-wide of this unique method of providing veterans who are disabled with homes.
