NEW YORK: The five hundred and forty-ninth entry for the seniors housing Global Awards 2016 has been received.
Hjaltland Housing Association has trumpeted the £1.9 million, 14-unit scheme. But the project will only go so far to address strong demand. Hjaltland received more than 180 applications for the 14 homes. The association says it has an “active” waiting list of over 600 who are seeking accommodation.
Chairman, Bobby Hunter said Hjaltland had worked with Shetland Islands Council to seek out areas where new housing was most needed.
But he warned demand showed little sign of abating just yet.
“We work closely with the local authority to focus our developments in the priority areas identified in the Local Housing”, he said.
