Trust Housing to join North Ayrshire Housing Register
Arran’s largest social housing provider is joining the North Ayrshire Housing Register.
Trust Housing Association will formally join the register as a core partner on 1 April, 2025.
Jennifer Wallace, Director of Customer Experience at Trust Housing, said: “We are looking forward to continuing our partnership working with North Ayrshire Council as a new Common Housing Register Partner.
“This joined-up approach to allocations will provide our customers, seeking housing on Arran, a single point of application and will streamline the allocations process on the island for both our general needs and older people’s housing.”

This is a landmark move and will continue to ensure that NAHR partners make best use of housing stock to meet the needs and aspirations of North Ayrshire's communities.”

Trust Housing joins the Council, Cunninghame Housing Association, Riverside Scotland (formerly Irvine Housing Association) and Cairn Housing Association (formerly ANCHO) as core partners on the housing register.
Across all organisations, they are collectively responsible for approximately 97 per cent of the 18,000 social rented properties in North Ayrshire.
The North Ayrshire Housing Register (NAHR) is a partnership between the council and Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) operating the common housing register in North Ayrshire.
The register makes it straightforward for applicants to apply for housing with the council and participating RSLs through a single housing application form.
The NAHR is our way of allocating council and partner housing association properties for rent and shared ownership properties for sale. Properties are allocated through the register using a common assessment of housing need which aligns with the North Ayrshire Housing Allocation Policy. More details can be found on the NAHR website.
