About us
Castlehill Housing Association (CHA) is a registered charitable organisation, established in 1970. We have a long, successful track record in the provision of housing and associated support services. Our current housing stock includes general needs properties, amenity, independent living housing for older people and very sheltered housing.
We operate across three Local Authority areas; Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire and Moray. The bulk of our stock is for affordable rent but we also have a number of shared ownership properties. We currently own and manage and factor over 1950 properties and over 10,000 households are registered with us seeking housing.
Through our subsidiary, Castlehill Housing Trust, we provide specially designed housing for people with particular needs.
In 2011, we established a non-registered, non-charitable subsidiary, Castlehill Solutions, to enable us to carry out activities that complement our core objectives but were unable to as a charitable organisation. Castlehill Solutions leases properties from Castlehill Housing Association to provide Mid-Market Rent tenancies.
In addition to our core activities as a registered social landlord, CHA also manages Aberdeen Care & Repair, undertaking a range of services for older and disabled people throughout the City.
