Rutherglen and Cambuslang Housing Association
Rutherglen and Cambuslang Housing Association is a community controlled, Registered Social Landlord, committed to providing high-quality, affordable homes. Established in 1979 as the Rutherglen Housing Action Group, it was formed in response to the deteriorating housing conditions in the heart of Rutherglen and the urgent need for action. Registered as Rutherglen Housing Association in 1980, the organisation set out to improve a number of the tenemental homes that had fallen below acceptable living standards.
Over the years, its role has expanded beyond Rutherglen, extending into Cambuslang, leading to a name change in 1996. Since its inception, the Association has invested approaching £100 million in building and enhancing homes, ensuring local residents have access to safe, high-quality housing.
Today, Rutherglen and Cambuslang Housing Association rents 873 properties and provides factoring and grounds maintenance services to over 900 homeowners. As a not-for-profit organisation, it is led by a voluntary Board of Management, made up of local residents, including tenants, and factored owners, supported by a dedicated team of 17 staff who manage daily operations. With a strong community focus, the Association continues to play a key role in improving housing and enhancing neighbourhoods across its areas of operations.
Their Values
Rutherglen and Cambuslang Housing Association is guided by a set of core values that shape its work and commitment to the community. Their values have been reviewed by the Board and staff as part of the development of the Association’s new 3-year Business Plan, and these are currently out for tenant consultation.
Their current values are:
- Making a Difference – Every activity aims to create a positive impact for service users and the wider community.
- Compassion & Empathy – Everyone is treated with dignity, respect, and kindness, ensuring an empathetic and non-judgmental approach.
- Fairness – A strong commitment to equality and inclusion ensures that all individuals are treated fairly, with differences respected and celebrated.
- Teamwork – Collaboration is at the heart of the organisation, bringing together staff, committee members, service users, and stakeholders to achieve the best possible outcomes.
- Putting Customers First – Services are designed and delivered with a focus on individual and collective needs, ensuring a responsive, high-quality experience for all.
The Housing Stock
Rutherglen and Cambuslang Housing Association provides a diverse range of accommodation across the local communities, from traditional tenement flats to modern new-build detached houses. They include:
- Traditional Tenements
- New Build Flats
- New Build Houses
- Ex-Scottish Homes Stock
The Association operates a needs-based allocation system, prioritising housing for those who need it most. Points are awarded based on specific criteria, including homelessness, lack of security, overcrowding, and the absence of basic amenities. This approach ensures that homes are allocated fairly and in a way that best supports individuals and families within the community.
