Administrative history
The Corlan Housing Association Ltd (Cymdeithas Tai Corlan Cyf.) provided homes for people in Wales, either through rent or purchase, during the period 1979-1991. It constructed new homes for the purpose, assisted by government grants. The Association became insolvent in 1990, and its assets were taken over by Wales and West Housing Association. The company was dissolved in 1995. The failure of the company was the subject of parliamentary questions.
