Welcome to Williamsburgh
Housing Association’s Annual
Report for 2005/2006. This is
my first opportunity to
address the residents and
membership, having taken on
near the support available from family and friends. While
considerable resources are made available, through our
development activity, to produce quality homes, we recognise
the importance of providing high standards in the
management and maintenance of our properties. Supportive

with the Association maintaining a strong balance sheet, healthy

nearly £5m in the provision of new homes, implementing major
surpluses and promising prospects for the future. I derive
enormous pride from the Association’s continued growth and
increasing prominence as a local social housing provider within
Renfrewshire’s Housing Strategy. In this regard, while it is
repair schemes and promoting wider role activity.
While we have accepted that due to budgetary constraints, the
level of financial support which we have received from
Renfrewshire Council in the past cannot be maintained, we
continue to work closely with the Council in the promotion of
tenement rehabilitation and area regeneration. The successful
outcome of this mutually supportive partnership working is clearly
illustrated by the comprehensive regeneration of former run down
local authority estates, such as Moorpark in Renfrew and Rankine
Street in Johnstone. In both these areas we have seen a
comprehensive strategy of extensive renovation, demolition and
new build transform unpopular, neglected estates into strong
communities with modern homes in a quality environment. Given
the evident success of these initiatives, we would expect the
page 8
Association to be involved in similar activity in the future.
Customer Satisfaction
Clearly, given their role as custodians of public monies, in
monitoring the performance of both housing associations and
local authorities, we would not be receiving the levels of
financial support indicated, if Communities Scotland were not
happy with our performance. While it is obviously important
that our funders are confident in us, it is equally important
that those to whom we provide services are satisfied and are
given the opportunity to advise us as to whether we are
meeting our goal of continuous improvement.
It is no accident that, the fundamental goal of providing the
best possible service we can, is embodied in the strategic
objective within our business plan, which commits us to
building on the high levels of satisfaction being recorded.

the Association's existence and highlights the fundamental
values, which act as a guide to those actions and decisions,

community, we aim, not only to regenerate the

which form our vision of future success.

(2) Business Objectives
The Association identified nine strategic objectives within our
Internal Management Plan. These are an attempt to translate
our ‘vision’ into more specific statements of intent and guide
our operational priorities aimed at implementing the
Association's twin strategies of growth and diversification in
2005/06.
Business Objective No.1
We will build/improve 110 houses for rent by 31st March 2006.
The Association will promote our engagement in the delivery of a wider range of services in the
local communities which we serve. Any such work will, however, be consistent with the
Association's objectives and will not detract from the provision of the core housing service.
We will support the promotion of a wider action strategy for Renfrewshire which will seek to
maximise our impact in the area of social inclusion. We will continue to explore within our
wider action initiatives such things as supporting enhanced community facilities, in addition to
building upon our employment related activity. This specifically relates to the provision of x2
maintenance apprenticeships, and work experience for x40 unemployed people by 31st March
2006.
page 12
We will review our business processes in a concerted effort to manage and subsequently reduce
arrears in the following areas: current/former tenant, sales ledger, and factoring, by 31st March
2006.
We will, along with our partners, promote the introduction within Renfrewshire of a Common
Housing Register, by 31st July 2005. In addition, we will contribute towards achieving the
objectives, for 2005/06, as outlined within the adopted Local Housing Strategy for Renfrewshire.
We will seek to maintain or improve upon the high levels of customer satisfaction with
Williamsburgh Housing Association, as measured by our comprehensive resident satisfaction
survey (2004). In addition, the introduction of a Service Level Agreement (Customer Care
Charter) will allow us to monitor our commitment to customer care, by March 2006.
We will review the contents of both the new ‘Performance Standards’ and ‘Raising
Standards in Housing’ documents to ensure that all the Association's policies and procedures
comply with requirements, by March 2006.
We will alter our policies and procedures to ensure the efficient implementation of the measures
required to comply with all relevant legislation (such as the Co-operatives and Community
Benefit Societies Act 2003, Building (Scotland) Act 2003, Disability Discrimination Act, Data
Protection Act 1998, Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002), and compliance requirements
(such as the new Scottish Housing Quality Standards, good practice in sustainability, and the
achievement of the government’s e-business targets), by March 2006..
We will seek to implement the approved recommendations emanating from our organisational
review, encompassing such matters as: charitable status/subsidiary, structure, service delivery,
tenant participation, membership policy, stock transfer/new initiatives, by March 2006.
We will mainstream into all our policies, practices and services, our commitment to the concepts
of: equal opportunities, sustainability, risk assessment, tenant participation and continuous
improvement, by March 2006.

expenditure 2005/2006
The gross book value of the Association’s housing stock has
increased by a net £7.637m (9.39%) after Right to Buy
disposals. The increase relates to expenditure on the 2005/06
major repairs programme and on our refurbishment and new
build housing projects which are explored in detail within the
Development Section, later within the annual report.
During 2005/06 a total of £7.8m was invested in housing
capital expenditure. This was possible through the support of
£5.3m in grant funding, £4.9m was received from
Communities Scotland and £0.4m from Renfrewshire Council.
Loans as at 31st March 2006 have shown a net decrease of
£264,000 in the year. This is due to capital repayments made
in respect of current loan facilities. Cash balances held,
although healthy at £4.1m, have decreased by £1.8m over the
financial year, mainly due to the capital investment
programme and capital loan repayments made.

Introduction
Our principle objectives in 2005/2006 were to complete the
newbuild regeneration project in Moorpark, Renfrew and to
progress the Rankine Street new build scheme, while at the
same time advancing a number of smaller scale, but
nevertheless important developments.
Completions in 2005/2006:

of 2 person houses, turns the corner between Lacy Street and
Cyril Street. The site start was delayed to allow the
introduction of additional precautions necessary due to the
condition of the adjacent buildings. No sooner had work
started then an uncharted culvert was discovered below the
ground. This necessitated ‘moving’ one of the buildings and
seeking a revised planning consent. After this problematic
start, however, progress was good and completion of the 12

Priorities
Applications accepted from
1. Residents of Housing Action / Regeneration Areas in

Notes
It should be noted that separate applications from one household will only
be accepted if the applicants were present at the time of the resident survey.
2. If you require daily support from a relative, or give
daily support to a relative.
Where either party reside in areas which contain W.H.A. properties
3. If you are homeless or threatened with homelessness.
4. If rehousing is needed because you have a
medical complaint.
Your doctor must confirm that rehousing will alleviate your medical condition.
5. If there is overcrowding in your present home.
6. If your present home lacks any of the following:
W.C. • Bath / Shower • Running Hot Water
or is subject to a Demolition Order.
7. If you are disabled and, therefore, require a house which
has been adapted to suit your needs.
8. The Association will accept referrals from other agencies.
The Association has a current list of approved agencies. Referrals from any
agency outwith the Association’s approved list will be accepted at the
discretion of the Housing Management Sub Committee.
9. Persons fleeing violence.
10. Victims of harassment.
11. Persons moving into the area to take up employment

Supporting evidence may be required in order to confirm the award of points for any or all of the above categories.
The Association has a limited stock and, as such, is unable to reach all potential applicants who express an interest in rehousing by
Williamsburgh Housing Association. Those applicants who have little, or no points, will be advised that it is unlikely that they will be
reached for housing and a request will be made that they confirm their wish to remain on the Association's housing list. Those applicants
who do not respond within the timescale given, will be removed from the list.
Williamsburgh Housing Association currently participates in the Renfrewshire Common Housing Register. This has involved the creation of a
common application form where applicants need complete only one form, and can select the preferred landlords of their choice, including
Williamsburgh Housing Association. The application form can be returned to any office of the participating local landlords.
Our involvement in the Common Housing Register has resulted in a significant increase in demand for our properties.

Additional Needs
In addition to producing mainstream housing, the Association
has acknowledged the shortfall in specially designed housing.
As such, we have made a commitment to provide for the
special needs of applicants such as, the elderly, disabled or
persons leaving institutional care. The Association has also
adopted the principle of barrier-free housing and is seeking to
adhere to it wherever practicable. This means that as far as
possible, houses do not contain unnecessary features which
restrict movement or access and are designed to help people
who perhaps use a walking frame or parents with prams.
