Argyll Housing Assn shortlisted for Scotland Housing Award
The Net Zero Club News Network is thrilled to share the exciting news that Argyll Community Housing Association (ACHA) has been shortlisted in two prestigious categories in the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) Scotland Housing Awards 2024.
ACHA’s outstanding work has earned them a place in the “Working in Partnership” category and the “Excellence in Regeneration and Sustainability” category for their exceptional project at Eton Avenue, Dunoon.
In collaboration with Argyll and Bute Council Housing Services and Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership, ACHA has successfully built four specially designed and adapted wheelchair-accessible homes for families with specific needs on the Home Argyll housing waiting list. These properties, constructed by John Brown (Strone) Limited, were made possible through a funding partnership between Argyll and Bute Council, the Scottish Government, and ACHA.
Cathy Grant, tenant chair of ACHA’s board of management, expressed her delight, stating: “These are fabulous new homes that have truly transformed the lives of the tenants. A recent survey revealed that 100% of the new tenants agreed that the overall condition of their new homes is far superior to their previous accommodations, which they described as stressful, miserable, and bleak.”
Grant also acknowledged the crucial role of partnership working with the Scottish Government, Argyll and Bute Council, and the Health and Social Care Partnership, who provided unwavering support to make this project a success.
