Even when their health and / or mobility deteriorates most people prefer to remain in their own home for as long as possible. By adapting existing properties Shettleston Housing Association aims to assist its tenants in achieving this goal.
Nonetheless, when considering whether to undertake adaptations to a property there are potential implications regarding cost, availability of funds and the best use of stock that must also be taken into account.
This policy aims to set out the basis on which the Association will enable people with medical needs to have their house adapted to meet those needs, while also protecting the Association’s wider responsibility as landlord to provide a range of general needs affordable homes in the Shettleston community.
