Irvine Housing Association
Irvine Housing Association is a non-profit making Housing Association established in 1993, registered with, and monitored by, the Scottish Housing Regulator. It is also a registered Industrial & Provident Society. We are a registered Scottish Charity No. SC042251.
By 1996 we owned and managed over 1,500 properties in Irvine and Kilwinning, North Ayrshire. By 1997 our rented stock increased to over 1,900 properties when tenants voted to transfer their homes from Dumfries & Galloway Council to Irvine Housing Association. After three years of providing housing and financial services on an agency basis to Coylebank Tenants Co-operative in Drongan, East Ayrshire, we undertook a transfer of engagements on 1 April 2004. Taking account of new housing developments, in 2011 the Association’s stock was in excess of 2,100 properties. In October 2011, Irvine Housing Association became a subsidiary of The Riverside Group (www.riverside.org.uk).
The Association aims to demonstrate its commitment to sustainability through the introduction of its’ Sustainability and Environmental Policy and conducts self evaluation, and aims to work together with customers and partner organisations in accordance with the Association’s wider strategic and operational requirements. A principle focus in managing the existing housing stock is to work with customers to reduce their energy consumption through advice and modifications to the fabric of the buildings. For new builds, the association is targeting the highest legislative targets for energy saving in domestic buildings.
As an Associate Partner IHA will aim to:
assist in the development of sustainability criteria.
help establish best practice identified by the project in our region.
identify case studies that demonstrate the feasibility of best practice in our region.
help disseminate the best practice identified in the project
