information DESCRIPTION

MHA was established in 1992 by a group of local residents.

MHA's primary objective was to improve the housing within the area and make Muirhouse a desirable place to live.

Original plans centred on the Muirhouse Green, Muirhouse Park and Muirhouse Terrace area. The housing in all of these streets has now been greatly improved. Partnerships with the council, Communities Scotland and private builders have resulted in MHA expanding within Muirhouse and Drylaw.

Muirhouse Housing Association is a community-based housing association, providing a variety of sizes and types of homes, for all age groups, at affordable rent levels.

MHA owns 499 homes in Muirhouse and 18 in Drylaw.

In July 2015 we completed the development of 52 units on site.

In the Summer of 2014 we expanded to create a subsidiary named "Muirhouse Homes". This subsidiary will manage a number of mid-market properties in the area. This will extend the housing choice for local residents and their friends and families.

Company overview:

MHA is a registered social landlord and a registered Scottish charity. We provide homes for rent at affordable levels. The majority of our homes are general needs, with a percentage specifically designed to meet the needs of older people and disabled people. We also own four properties which are registered HOM's and are staffed 24 hours by support providers. The support providers are The Action Group and Carrgomm Scotland.

Description:

Since 1992 we have provided 447 homes for rent. The majority of these were designed and built specifically for the organisation. A smaller number were acquired on the open market. We also own one property outwith the local area, which is occupied by The Action Group.

General information:

In addition to managing and maintaining homes, the association aims to promote Muirhouse as a desirable place to live. We work in partnership with (amongst others) Muirhouse Milleium Centre, North Edinburgh Arts, Muirhouse Youth Development Group and Community Learning and Development staff. We support local groups and events with small donations.

We have a variety of sizes and types of properties in Muirhouse and some flats in Drylaw.
