Report by Chief Executive, Argyll Community Housing Association

The Committee gave consideration to an annual update presentation for the Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands Area by the Director of Finance and IT, Argyll Community Housing Association, including details of the Warm Homes Fund, Exemplar Estate Initiative, Stock Condition Survey and upcoming local projects.

Discussion took place around issues delaying the progress of a development in Tarbert and a lack of shared equity housing in the area and it was agreed that Councillor Currie would raise these matters at an upcoming Strategic Housing Forum meeting. Further discussion took place around: mould and damp issues within properties; ongoing projects outlined within the presentation; the potential for rural housing programmes; ACHA’s current homeless policy and the Rapid Rehousing Scheme.

The Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands Area Committee agreed to note the contents of the presentation.
