Who we are and what we do
Arklet Housing Association grew from Glasgow Jewish Housing Association which was registered with The Housing Corporation in 1967. Initially the Association acquired tenement flats scattered thought the South Side of Glasgow for members of the Jewish Community who required support in accessing affordable housing.
This was further developed in the early 1990s with a successful application for grant funding to develop a Sheltered Housing Development for members of the Jewish Community in Giffnock, 36% of the development was HAG funded with the remainder funded by donations from the Jewish Community to provide a sheltered housing development which met the social and cultural needs of the community.
Community needs continued to be met providing housing and support services for those with learning disabilities and mental health needs, and this was developed further to meet the needs of other communities. It was at this time the Association changed its name to reflect the additional communities and the wider geographical area in which it now operates.
Equalities or “Access for all” continues to be the main theme for the Association which is complimented by the work done to provide housing and support services to the local community.
Future new housing and support services are planned to meet the growing demand the Association is experiencing from a range of equalities groups and from local communities, this is very much welcomed by the Association.
