Welcome to the Communities Housing Trust (CHT) website. Formerly known as The Highlands Small Communities Housing Trust, we aim to provide information about our services, our projects both new and old, and our plots and houses available to buy or rent. The site will be growing over the next while, incorporating a lot of new content. Be sure to keep coming back to see what CHT is working on, and how we can possibly help you or your community.
CHT is a registered charity set up in 1998 to help rural communities secure long term solutions to their local housing needs.
Since then we have made affordable rural homes a reality for local households and communities across the length and breadth of the Highlands. We represent a wide range of interests including communities, local government, landowners, crofters and housing associations.
By helping rural communities better understand, present and ultimately meet their needs for additional affordable housing we play an important role in actively supporting their long term viability.
We receive funding from a variety of sources including the Scottish Government and various charitable trusts and foundations in addition to our own income from housing development work and other fee-earning business activities.
