THE HOUSING GAP 🐹
Last year: 2,260 council houses built.
Waiting list: 1.3 million.

Labour: “We’ll halve homelessness in 3 years.”
But… HOW?
Should they listen to Historic England?

🥜 The #HousingEmergency in a nutshell: Buying a home is too expensive and private rent is becoming increasingly unaffordable. Social housing, then, is the answer - except Scotland doesn't have enough of them.
Stand with us and demand the social housing Scotland needs.

We can't end homelessness without social homes. The next parliament must deliver 15,693+ new social homes each year to tackle the housing emergency.
