It is a key part of the GHA's business plan and original mandate, that at a later point, the housing stock should be transferred furtherly from GHA, to a number of smaller housing associations. The reason given for this transfer is that social housing should be under the control of corporations local to the houses they are controlling. Currently, GHA is taking part in a trial of the Secondary Stage Transfer process, along with several of the smaller housing associations mentioned above.

| - It is a key part of the GHA's business plan and original mandate, that at a later point, the housing stock should be transferred furtherly from GHA, to a number of smaller housing associations. The reason given for this transfer is that social housing should be under the control of corporations local to the houses they are controlling. Currently, GHA is taking part in a trial of the Secondary Stage Transfer process, along with several of the smaller housing associations mentioned above. GHA is currently running several months behind schedule and has recently released a thirty-year business plan, leading to vocal speculation from some organisations that the company does not wish to transfer all of its housing stock to the smaller groups. Part of GHA's mandate is that it should manage the upkeep and general maintenance of its housing stock. To this end, GHA has set up a subsidiary company, Glasgow Housing Association (Management) Limited, to look after repairs to its housing. GHA is a profit-making company and made in the region of £2 million in profits over the financial year 2005/2006. GHA's repair and general upkeep record has come under sustained attack from its tenants and other customers, with many people threatening lawsuits over lack of repairs and unfair charges when they do come.

However, a condition of having Glasgow's housing debt written off was whole stock transfer. This was initially going to be to one landlord, however, the Scottish Executive intervened and produced a Framework Document which introduced the concept of second stage transfer to smaller Housing Associations over time.
