The purpose of the National Housing Trust initiative (NHT) is to make additional private rented housing available at intermediate rent levels. It is not aimed at providing social rented homes. In some cases NHT homes may be provided on sites where there is social housing, but in others there may not be any social housing on the site. Proposed sites will be assessed by local authorities and the Scottish Futures Trust on the basis of the suitability and location of the homes for NHT and so guidance will not be required on physical integration of NHT homes with social rented housing.
