About Cassiltoun
Cassiltoun Housing Association is a community controlled Housing Association formed in 1984 by a group of local people, then council tenants. The group wanted to bring about change by managing and controlling their own affairs. Since then they have been hugely successful. Originally formed as Glasgow’s first housing co-operative “Castlemilk East” in 1985 and after a rule change in 2004, became a charitable organisation and changed our name to Cassiltoun Housing Association.
The key reason for 33 years success has been the community controlled independence of Board Members who govern and manage the Association’s business. Today more than ever the Board of Cassiltoun Housing Association fully intends to remain independent and in control of their affairs.
Our Internal Management Plan/Business Plan clearly sets out how Cassiltoun Housing Association operates and demonstrates our financial capacity, long term viability and business planning assumptions which conclude that the Board fully intends to continue for many years independently as they have done in previous years.
The Association has successfully contributed to the physical and economic regeneration of Castlemilk over the previous 33 years. We have worked closely with our strategic partners to deliver massive improvements to the lives of our tenants and the wider community.
