Caledonia Housing Association and Cordale Housing Association were delighted to have provided 32 new homes to tenants in John Street and Main Street in Renton just before Scottish Housing Day.

Caledonia Housing Association has recently completed the building of 32 new homes in Renton that will be managed by Cordale Housing Association and let to local people. These 32 properties are part of a large affordable housing programme that includes new housing in Renton and extends to Alexandria, West Dunbartonshire and will eventually produce over 80 new homes for rent.

The final houses in this programme will be let next month.

Margaret McCallion, chairperson of Cordale Housing Association, and Barry Johnstone, area director, Caledonia Housing Association, were delighted to personally welcome Mr and Mrs Walker to their new property in John Street.

Margaret McCallion stated: “On Scottish Housing Day, it seems fitting to celebrate the provision of new affordable housing in Renton, as this type of new housing has the capacity to change lives. When we established a partnership with Caledonia Housing Association in April 2014, we stated we would bring new housing to the local community and I’m delighted we are in a position to let these new properties. I was very grateful Mr and Mrs Walker invited us to visit their beautiful home. It demonstrated first-hand the difference we are making with these fantastic new houses.”

Julie Cosgrove, chief executive of Caledonia Housing Association, said: “Caledonia Housing Association are delighted to deliver much needed new homes in Renton. Working in partnership with Cordale to bring new affordable housing to the community of Renton is one of the many partnership pledges I am delighted to see coming to fruition.”
