| Our
main activity is building and managing homes for people in
need. We aim to assist single persons, couples and families.
Increasingly we are providing homes for those with specific needs
to enable them to live independently in society. In pursuing
our ambitions we work in partnership with a wide range of agencies
and support providers.
We now
own and manage over 1400 homes for rent and shared ownership in
many parts of Perth and Kinross, including Perth, its surrounding
area and nearby villages, and the largely rural Highland and Eastern
Perthshire.
We are
also involved in both urban and rural regeneration projects.
We instigate and respond to initiatives that promote the creation
of safe, attractive neighbourhoods and enable individuals and communities
to maximise their potential. We are continually developing
our varied programme of Wider Role projects in response to identified
needs and in line with local and national priorities.
We are
committed to promoting sustainable construction and improved thermal
efficiency as a means of combating fuel poverty, reducing the harmful
emission of greenhouse gases and minimising the impact of our activities
on the environment in general.
The Association
is managing agent for Perthshire
Care and Repair. This service offers free and confidential
information and advice for older people and people with a disability
who are homeowners or private tenants, to enable them to improve,
repair or adapt their homes and stay comfortably in their community.
