The Port of Leith Housing Association (PoLHA) Group includes: the registered social landlord and charity, Port of Leith Housing Association (the parent organisation), and three wholly-owned subsidiary companies: a private rented sector letting agent, Persevere Developments Ltd (PDL), a community initiatives/social enterprise company, Quay Community Improvements CIC (Quay CI), and a multi-trades repairs and maintenance company, TB Mackay Energy Services (TBM).PoLHA is the largest social landlord in Leith, owning and managing almost 3,000 homes. Approximately 90% are for social rent through the Association. 10% are for mid market rent through Persevere Developments.There are significant opportunities over the years up to 2025 for the Group to play an important part in the ongoing regeneration and development of Leith and in the wider Edinburgh Waterfront, within Western Harbour and Granton in particular. The Group is extremely well placed to continue playing a very active part creating new and large scale mixed-use and mixed-tenure communities and, where new services will be developed, providing ongoing maintenance and support linking together both existing and new communities in future.There are also opportunities through collaboration and partnership working with other RSLs operating in the city and including through the newly formed ARCHIE alliance of smaller independent organisations to be working more closely together, and benefitting through sharing knowledge and information, undertaking joint procurement activity to secure improved value for specific goods and services, and improving the range of service offering to tenants and other stakeholders in future.It is also a period of significant change and challenge, most notably from the continued roll out of Universal Credit, from the uncertainty and the impact of Brexit, and from the inevitable disruption to residents and businesses due to the planned extension of the tram line to Newhaven being constructed over the next three years.
