Membership Policy

Cornwall Rural Housing Association is a charitable housing association registered with The Housing Corporation and with the Registry of Friendly Societies. The Association was set up in 1985 to:

"...carry on for the benefit of the community the business of providing housing and any associated amenities for all persons in necessitous circumstances upon terms appropriate to their means".

CRHA is committed to achieving as wide a shareholding membership as possible in order to enhance its accountability to the local community.

The Association is controlled by a Board of Management which is drawn from and elected by the shareholding members.

Who can be a member?

  • Any tenant of the Association. 
    (Please note that any tenant who is in arrears with their rent or is otherwise in breach of their Tenancy Agreement is not eligible to become a member of the Association)
  • Any individual over the age of 18 living or working in Cornwall or the Isles of Scilly who can demonstrate a commitment to increasing the supply of affordable rented housing in this part of the country.

How much does it cost?

You can become a member simply by purchasing a one pound share in the Association.

How do I become a member?

Any applications for membership should be made in writing to our registered office and should be accompanied by the one pound required to purchase the share. Every application will be considered by the Board at the next available meeting. If the application is approved you will be issued with a share. If your application is not approved we will let you know and return your money.

What happens when I become a member?

You are entitled to stand for election to our Board of Management and also to vote in those elections. You will also receive invitations to all of our official functions, such as scheme openings and the Annual General Meeting. We hope that you will take the opportunity to have a say in how the Association is run and promote its work whenever and wherever you can.
