We are registered as a Social Landlord with Communities Scotland, we are also registered as a charity with OSCR (Office of Scottish Charities Regulator).
Membership of the Association is open to all adults in Scotland. It costs £1 and membership entitles people to attend the Annual General Meeting, receive an Annual Report, the Annual Accounts and to elect or be elected onto the Association's Management Committee.
The Management Committee run the Association's affairs on behalf of the membership. They appoint staff, contractors and consultants, raise mortgages and apply for grants to build houses or to pay staff salaries.
Management Committee members do not get paid and have to submit themselves for re-election every three years or so.
The Association and its subsidiary currently employ over 500 staff.
The way we make decisions is as open as possible. Everyone is encouraged to understand how we make decisions, where possible we encourage stakeholders to take part in these decisions. We have systems in place which allow tenants, service users and staff to share their views.
