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 and the mortgage-to-rent scheme over a number of years and, as at the 24th of June 2011, the Association owned 611 properties. 

The Association currently employs 15 full-time staff, 2 part-time staff, a Landscape Architect. In addition, the in-house finance service is supported by external agents and specialist Development & Technical Services are delivered through partnership agreements.
