Housing & Community Care

Housing & Community Care provides housing services and services for older people and vulnerable adults.  We help people, wherever possible, to live independently within their own homes.

We support communities across Perth and Kinross by working to reduce re-offending and increase public safety and protection.

We match support to people's need, so provide support such as home care, day care and residential services, respite or advocacy.

The Service is also responsible for managing the Council's housing stock, providing services to tenants, and for developing strategies for addressing homelessness, housing and regeneration.
