West Lothian Housing Partnership was originally set up by West Lothian Council to deliver regeneration and new build housing. It remains a company limited by guarantee. The Partnership is also a Scottish Charity registered with OSCR, and a Registered Social Landlord regulated by Communities Scotland.
Like any housing association, West Lothian Housing Partnership is run by its governing body, the Board, which takes the key decisions, approves policies and plans, and employs staff to manage the business.
All Board members are volunteers. There is provision for up to 15 Board members: five Council nominees, five tenants and five independent community members.
Development of new housing has, and continues to be, funded by a combination of grants from Communities Scotland and West Lothian Council and loans arranged privately.
