Who, We Were and Are

Who We Were and Are

Whiteinch & Scotstoun Housing Association Ltd. is a Charity Registered in Scotland, registered with the Financial Conduct Authority and the Scottish Housing Regulator, and controlled by a Committee of Management which includes local tenants, community members and homeowners.

The Association had its origins in two local community groups: the Whiteinch Housing Action Group and Scotfore.   

Whiteinch Housing Action Group was established in 1975 with 'retention of the community' being its expressed aim due to the demolition of houses and shops brought about by the creation of the Clyde Tunnel.  Scotfore was set up about the same time to co-ordinate a large environmental improvement project in Scotstoun.  These two bodies formed the basis of the original membership of the Housing Association which was formally constituted late in 1977.

Our first Housing Action Areas were declared in 1978, and steady progress has been made thereafter.  In June 2011, WSHA accepted the transfer of the former Whiteinch Glasgow Housing Association and through ongoing development and acquisitions we now have over 1300 properties available for rent.
