With thanks to @JohnSwinney & @_KateForbes for a positive discussion & encouraging demonstration of leadership at the highest level of @scotgov. All stakeholders must work together collaboratively to develop the solutions required to effectively address the housing emergency.
First Minister @JohnSwinney and Deputy First Minister @_KateForbes met @H_F_S, the trade body that represents Scotland’s valued housebuilding sector.
Working with partners to address the housing emergency and deliver more homes is a priority for @ScotGov.
On #WorldHomelessDay we are reflecting on Scotland's housing emergency & the resulting long-term societal risks as the # of children & households in temp accommodation is a record high. Meanwhile the number of new homes being built continues to fall ... https://t.co/GEel63OvKH

@ScotGovFairer@scotgov But you have failed to say that both starts and completions are down 17% on last year and the lowest number of starts in the first half of any year on record !
Today’s annual h’ness stats are utterly grim: for the 10th year in a row the no of kids in temp accomm has increased; there’s now 16,300 households in temp, up 9% & there’s been a staggering 1659% increase in cases where no temp could be provided. Our housing system is broken
Today's housing and homelessness statistics are absolutely grim. We're in the perfect storm of a collapse in housebuilding amid surging and record homelessness. Every effort across Government must go towards ending our #HousingEmergency.
