Leigh Grubb, Director of finance & governance at Caledonia Housing Association, said: "Caledonia Housing Association’s strategy is focused on providing homes and services that make life better for people throughout Scotland. The funding from Royal Bank of Scotland gives us greater financial flexibility to deliver an ambitious programme to build more affordable homes and much needed regeneration for communities."
