Barrhead Housing
Association is a locally-based provider of quality, affordable,
rented housing. Set-up as a registered social landlord in
1986, the Association’s aim was to improve the tenemental
properties in the centre of Barrhead. The Association now
owns over 750 flats and houses throughout East Renfrewshire,
although mainly in Barrhead, Neilston and Thornliebank.
The Association provides accommodation for general and specialised
housing including sheltered housing, wheelchair housing
and housing for the elderly. The Association became a registered
charity in 2004.
The Association is run by a Management Committee made-up
of local tenants and residents and housing professionals.
As members of the Association, the Committee of Management
is elected at the Association’s Annual General Meeting.
The Management Committee meet regularly to ensure that the
Association is in control of its strategic direction, its
commitments and its service to tenants and residents.
The Association welcomes applications from all sections
of society and values the contribution made by our hard
working Committee to improving the services that are delivered
to all residents and prospective residents.

Barrhead
TV The Association recently launched
its own tv network. Screens have been installed in
Barrhead and Neilston Libraries, Auchenback Resource Centre
and the Association's reception. This gives the Association
the opportunity to promote our services to our residents
across a wider audience.
Rent Off The Shelf (ROTS) Barrhead
Housing Association has been provided with funding to buy
back ex-East Renfrewshire Council and ex-Scottish Homes
properties in the Eastwood area, particularly Thornliebank,
Busby and Eaglesham. This is to assist the need for more
properties for rent as a result of the Council’s pressurised
area status that restricts Right to Buy for tenants.
If you live in an ex Council or Scottish Homes property
and you are thinking of selling, and would like to discuss
this further, please contact the Association at the above
address for details. If interested, we will arrange to visit
your home and discuss whether we can proceed.
Resident
Satisfaction Soars Following the completion
of a comprehensive satisfaction survey. Interviews
