Funding has been provided from 1 April 2016 to end August 2019 through the Affordable Housing Supply Programme (AHSP) to Weslo Housing Management to help deliver 17 units for Mid-market Rent, 52 units for social rent and 6 units through the Home Owner Support Fund (HOSF). Funding for Paragon Housing Association contributed to the delivery of 10 units for social rent and 1 unit through the HOSF.
The Home Owner Support Fund helps home owners who find it difficult to pay their mortgage – or loans secured against their property – to stay in their homes.
Both organisations have received funding for housing adaptations. These adaptations make an important contribution to supporting older people and disabled people to live safely, comfortably and independently at home.
Loan funding was provided to Paragon Housing Association through the Home Energy Efficiency Programmes for Scotland (HEEPS) Loan scheme. These are interest-free loans to households and Registered Social Landlords to enable the installation of energy efficient measures.
