West Lothian Housing Partnership has formally become part of Dunedin Canmore Housing.
Earlier this year, 90 per cent of WLHP tenants who voted in an independent ballot did so in favour of the two organisations coming together within Wheatley Group.
Joining forces paves the way for Dunedin Canmore to do more for communities across the east of Scotland.
This includes: limiting future rent increases over the next two years to 2.5 per cent; spending an extra £600,000 on existing homes and building 1000 new homes in West Lothian over the next 10 years.
Hazel Young, Wheatley Group director of Housing and Property Management, said: “It’s an exciting time for Dunedin Canmore.
“We’re investing in existing homes and building new ones tailored to the needs of our communities and tenants will continue to enjoy the same excellent services they are used to.”
A total of 90 per cent of WLHP tenants who took part in a ballot which ran from May 30 to June 27 supported the plans.
Tenants were able to vote by post, by phone, online and by text.
WLHP and Dunedin Canmore formally joined forces on September 5.
