We were formed in April 2003 when Carrick Housing Association and South Ayrshire Homes came together. Our governance structure is based on a partnership between our tenants and Ayrshire’s communities. Our tenants and communities constituencies have 6 places each on the Board. We have a close working relationship with South Ayrshire Council on whose initiative our predecessor South Ayrshire Homes was formed in 1998.
Our day to day operations are handled by a committed staff team of 31 from our office in Ayr. We are committed to the development of all who work for us. You can find details about working with us here.
We aim to make an impact on Ayrshire’s economy through our work. Find out about our approach to procurement and our significant contracts. We are committed to Fair Work First principles.
We are a company limited by guarantee (no: 185652) and a Scottish charity (no: SC 027906). Registered as a Social Landlord (no: 304), our performance as a landlord is monitored by the Scottish Housing Regulator. See what they think of us in their Engagement Plan and Landlord Report.
