Highland homelessness rose to 1,062 in 2025/26, driven by evictions and a 50% surge in domestic abuse cases.
The homelessness rate in Scotland’s Highlands rose to 1,062 people in the first three quarters of 2025/26, up from 974 the previous year, driven by people being asked to leave homes and a surge in domestic abuse cases, with 137 citing abuse as the reason.
Domestic violence incidents increased nearly 50% in December, raising concerns over a November council policy affecting refuge funding, though two refuges had contracts extended.
Most homeless individuals were aged 26 to 59, and despite the rise in homelessness, temporary accommodation numbers reached a record low since 2016 due to more permanent housing placements.
