CHA, which operates throughout the Dundee, Angus, Perth and Kinross, Fife, East and West Dunbartonshire, North Lanarkshire and Highland local authority regions, owns and manages 5,500 properties.
As part of its five-year business plan, the housing association has committed to build more than 600 new affordable homes which the Royal Bank of Scotland funding will help enable. Proposals include the regeneration of Bellsmyre in West Dunbartonshire, where CHA will transform a current brownfield site to provide a mixture of one-, two- and three-bedroom houses. Completion is expected in summer 2022.
The Royal Bank of Scotland funding has also been earmarked to support prospective new developments across Dundee, Perth, Angus and the Highlands.
