About YHA
Yorkhill Housing Association Ltd is a small community based organisation with charitable status operating in the West End of Glasgow. It was first established in 1977 by a group of local residents who were anxious to improve the standard of local homes with the assistance of significant grant funding from central and local governments.
Today the Association owns 468 flats - mostly tenements - and manages a further 494 units on behalf of owners, whether that be housing or commercial premises. It is still managed by a voluntary committee of local residents and interested parties elected by our membership. The area of operations is compact, stretching west between Argyle Street at Kelvinhaugh Street and Argyle Street at Bunhouse Road (Kelvin Hall). At the back of the area, the River Clyde provides a natural boundary.
