Glasgow bid to home Ukrainian refugees as hundreds still in city hotels

More than 500 Ukrainian refugees are still living in hotels in Glasgow as efforts continue to find them more suitable accommodation.

A report presented at a health and social care meeting warned there is a shortfall of 1,700 social housing homes available for homeless people in the city this year while 2,800 are likely to be available. A report presented to the Glasgow City Integration Joint Board meeting this week said on April 1, 632 homeless households lived in bed and breakfast accommodation in the city. Out of that total 504 households were breaching the unsuitable accommodation order - which is a safeguard introduced by the Government to stop them from having to stay in substandard places for more than seven days.

Pat Togher, assistant chief officer public protection and complex needs at the GCHSCP told the meeting the delivery of the rapid rehousing transition plan faces challenges.
