Ore Valley Housing Association

The Association was registered in 1991 by a voluntary committee all of whom were resident in Cardenden. Their specific aim was to achieve the transfer of housing stock in Cardenden from Scottish Homes.

There were two seperate transfers of property during 1995 and 1997. The motivation for transfer was the desire among tenants to improve their housing & environmental conditions within the area as well as the achievement of improved service delivery through the provision of dedicated local services.

The Association has acquired properties through new build over a number of years and at 19th November 2008 the Association owned 532 properties. There are also plans to develop a further 41 properties during the current financial year.

The Association currently employs 14 full-time staff, a Housing Trainee and a Landscape Architect. In addition, the in house finance service is supported by external agents.

Specialist Development & Technical Services are delivered through partnership agreements.
