Established in 1975, Grampian is now a fast growing housing association based in the North East of Scotland. Through direct development and stock transfer, the Association now provides services to over 3,000 households. Independently and through a variety of partnerships, homes are provided to meet the housing needs of a wide range of client groups, including single people, couples, families, older people and people with special needs. Our overall strategy is to develop sustainable communities, with a balance of tenure types. As well as providing quality affordable homes for rent, the Association participates in Low Cost Home Ownership initiatives including shared ownership and shared equity. Through its subsidiary, Kirkgate Developments, properties for outright sale are developed. Grampian has also developed a number of Lead Tenancies targeted at providing housing for homeless people.
