Housebuilding for social rent in Glasgow has plummeted with last year the second lowest for new builds in a quarter of a century.

Housebuilding for social rented homes in Glasgow has plummeted with last year the second lowest for new build completions in a quarter of a century.

The Glasgow Times End the Homeless Hotel Shame campaign has highlighted the hundreds of people stuck in hotels and B&B each night. The council, however, does not have any housing stock and relies on hotels and B&Bs for emergency provision and housing associations for temporary accommodation. Sally Thomas, chief executive of Scottish Federation of Housing Asociations, said: “Today’s dire statistics should serve as yet another wake-up call to the Scottish Government about the extent of the housing emergency and the immediate challenges we face in delivering affordable rented housing.

“Glasgow’s housing associations are key to delivering the warm, high quality, affordable homes which will end the city’s housing emergency, but successive Scottish Government cuts are threatening their ability to deliver.
