A housing and care home provider is investing in a programme of improvements to its properties, to help tenants and residents feel at home.

Since being formed over 70 years ago, the main goal of Viewpoint has remained unchanged: to enhance the quality of life and wellbeing of older people.

This housing association provides people in Edinburgh, the Lothians and Fife with a choice of living accommodation, enabling greater independence and peace of mind in a safe and supported environment.

Viewpoint is planning an ambitious programme of improvements to their existing social housing stock over the coming years. CAF Bank provided a £5 million loan to help the organisation refinance its existing debt and fund this capital project cost-effectively.

This will put Viewpoint in a good position to press on with the works, when building maintenance activities can resume after the lockdown.
