Affordable Housing

East Whins

PET owns 2 two bedroom rental flats (care-prepared) and 2 shared-ownership houses on the East Whins site.

Since 2013, PET has been managing these 4 units. We were actively involved in setting up the East Whins Residents’ Association and continue to be engaged with this amazing social engineering experiment, whilst encouraging our tenants and co-owners to take an active role in it.

Allocations

Three of the five allocations went to Findhorn Foundation co-workers. The criteria for the allocations were set by the Community, agreed by Moray Council and implemented by the Community’s Land & Housing Trust committee, which consists of representatives from the NFA, the Findhorn Foundation and Ekopia.
