Two of the Khan family’s children have particular health requirements so finding a suitable property had proven a challenge for them.

But the dilemma was solved after Elderpark Housing purchased a spacious three-bedroom property from a private landlord through funding provided by Glasgow City Council’s affordable housing programme.    

Ideally suited for the family, Elderpark set to work adapting it substantially taking advantage of a Glasgow City Council grant to cover 50 per cent of the costs to do this work.

The Khan family - made up of dad Abdul, mum Rasheda and their family Rasheeqa (20) Namood (17) and Jazeb (11) – are overjoyed with their new home.

Before they moved into their new home, Elderpark Housing undertook a number of improvements including installing new central heating, new decoration, new family bathroom, new windows and a new kitchen bringing a new lease of life to the home and making it fresh and bright for the family to move in to.

Abdul said: “We can’t thank Elderpark Housing enough. The house is perfectly suited to our needs and we all love it. Where we were previously was not suitable and was too small. We now have a lovely spacious home for the whole family.”

Elderpark housing officer Kerry Clayton added: “To see the Khan family in a home that really meets their needs is wonderful. We wish them many happy years in it.”

Elderpark chief executive Gary Dalziel added: “This was the ideal solution and we are delighted that through substantial support from Glasgow City Council we were able to adapt a home to meet their needs and hopefully provide them with a home they can reside in for many years.”
