Yorkhill Housing Association Ltd is a small community based organisation with charitable status operating in the West End of Glasgow. It was first established in 1977 by a group of local residents who were anxious to improve the standard of local homes with the assistance of significant grant funding from central and local governments. Today the Association owns 462 tenement flats and manages a further 500 units on behalf of owners. It is still managed by a voluntary committee of local residents and interested parties elected by the membership. The area of operations is compact, stretching west between Argyle Street at Kelvinhaugh Street and Argyle Street at Bunhouse Road. At the back of the area, the River Clyde provides a natural boundary.
