About Housing Associations
Yorkshire Coast Homes is a charitable organisation known as a Housing Association. In 2003 tenants of Scarborough Borough Council took the decision to transfer from the Local Authority to this new independent organisation. In doing so the long term future of these properties could be decided and a full investment program initiated to bring the homes up to the Government’s Decent Homes Standard.
As independent organisations Housing Associations are more customer focused, operating on a “not for profit” basis. This means that any funds generated by the rent that is charged go on running costs of the organisation within any surplus ploughed back into the properties and communities in which they operate.
