SFHA welcomes its 130th Member - Ruchazie Housing Association
SFHA extends a warm welcome to its newest member: Ruchazie Housing Association.
SFHA today extends a warm welcome to its newest member: Ruchazie Housing Association.
Ruchazie Housing Association was formed in 1993 and in 1995 acquired 300 unimproved local authority units. Following a comprehensive regeneration programme completed in 2016 providing an outturn of 228 units - 24 tenement rehab and 204 new-build – the Association now owns and manages 225 properties.
The aim of the Association is to contribute to the regeneration of Ruchazie by providing good quality housing and also by being involved in other non-housing activities which assist in improving living standards in the community.
Ruchazie is also a member of the Easterhouse Housing and Regeneration Alliance (EHRA) - an alliance of the eight independent, community-based social housing providers in Greater Easterhouse. EHRA member organisations own and manage over 3,000 homes throughout the Greater Easterhouse area.
Ruchazie now joins all of its fellow EHRA members - Calvay Housing Association, Gardeen Housing Association, Easthall Park Housing Co-operative, Provanhall Housing Association, Lochfield Park Housing Association, Wellhouse Housing Association and Blairtummock Housing Association – as a member of SFHA.
Welcoming Ruchazie Housing Association as a new member, SFHA Chief Executive Sally Thomas said:
“We are delighted to welcome Ruchazie Housing Association as our 130th member. We look forward to working with the Association to support their ambition to deliver a sustainable and attractive neighbourhood which is well managed for the benefit of the local community.
“Each one of our 130 members helps to strengthen our voice as the national body for Scotland’s housing associations and co-operatives when working to influence and advocate in the best interests of our members and their tenants.
“The more we can represent housing associations and co-operatives across Scotland, the more we can broaden and strengthen the sector’s contribution to social justice and inclusive growth.”
