Melville Housing is a charitable organisation supporting local communities by providing and developing high quality affordable homes and housing-related services.

We were formed in October 1995 by a group of Midlothian tenants and staff from the Dalkeith area office of Scottish Homes. For a fuller history of the association please click here.

Registered with, and regulated by, the Scottish Government, we are committed to meeting local housing needs and own and manage more than 1800 properties across Midlothian, South Lanarkshire, North Lanarkshire, East Lothian and Edinburgh.

We have an ongoing development programme and also participate in the Scottish Government's Mortgage to Rent scheme, providing help to home owners who are in danger of losing their homes.

Governed by a voluntary Management Committee made up of a maximum of 15 members including tenants and business people from all walks of life, day to day running of the Association is delegated to a highly professional team of 35 staff.

We have achieved the prestigious Investors in People standard and the Positive about Disability Symbol. Both quality marks are proudly displayed on our stationery, information leaflets and in the office. We have also earned our Healthy Working Lives bronze award for our efforts to make Melville a healthier place to work.
