About Us
Care & Repair East Lothian was set up in East Lothian in 1987 by the then East Lothian District Council and Scottish Office Development Department and was managed by Shelter (Scotland) for 5 years. Since 1993 East Lothian Housing Association has acted as managing agent with revenue funding secured from East Lothian Council.
The core service of Care & Repair East Lothian is to assist home owners and private tenants aged 60 and over or 50 and over with a disability to carry out essential repairs and maintenance and/or adapt their home to make it suitable for changing needs. We can advise on the various funding options available, for example, local authority private sector grant aid, self-funding options and/or charitable funding.
