💬A brilliant session on support for First Time Buyers at @theSNP conference.

🏠This is of particular interest to me as a FTB, so was able to share with the panel my perspective and ask questions, but mainly stated more education is needed to understand the house buying process

Reinstating social housing investment ASAP, redrafting the housing bill to stop the exodus of investment for new build & seeing our 250,000 PRS landlords as the vital housing partners they are, balancing support and accountability are my top 3 to do’s

[Alison Watson @alisonj_WATSON]

John Swinney urged by campaigners to wipe out housing cuts - Scotland’s deepening housing emergency is a national scandal & reversing the savage cut to the housing budget is vital to preventing record breaking h’ness numbers rising ever further https://t.co/tlWJhh0ZnX

[Susan Aktemel @susanaktemel]

Hearing @JohnSwinney & @_KateForbes state eradicating child poverty & stimulating the economy as top priority - music to my ears. Home is the foundation our children need. A new government = a new opportunity to put housing front & centre @S_A_Somerville @PaulMcLennan7

[Susan Aktemel @susanaktemel]

I’m 100% with @shelterscotland - as long as children live in temporary accommodation & overcrowded housing conditions, child poverty will persist. With quality housing, health, attainment, economic growth, everything lifts. As @SirTomhunter said - housing must be at the centre.

[Matt Downie @matthew_downie]

Thanks @lewis_goodall for this searing account of life in temporary accommodation.

Please keep covering the housing and homelessness crises, and giving a voice to those directly impacted.

This is not inevitable and there are political solutions.

[Crisis @crisis_uk]

It feels like a proper Skylight centre now! The signage recently went up at our new centre in Aldgate. Our new home was refurbished thanks in part to @PostcodeLottery players who've helped make it a welcoming place for people taking their first steps out of homelessness ❤️

[Susan Aktemel @susanaktemel]

A day in the life of @HomesForGood expansion - a sneak peak of the first @GoodPlaceLet London office, & the drive back from signing up our first South of Scotland homes. Brick Lane to the Borders - we’re coming to make private renting better ❤️ #homes #socent

[Homes for Good @HomesForGood]

Another one of our transformations hits the news! Thank you @GlasgowCC for featuring our work in the Empty Homes Strategy ❤️

Empty homes provide a fast, central solution to our housing shortage when investment in new builds is declining #HousingCrisis #homelessness #glasgow

[Glasgow City Council @GlasgowCC]

Glasgow's Empty Homes Strategy has brought more than 1700 empty homes in the city back to productive use.

[Crisis @crisis_uk]

It should not be govt policy to arrest people simply because they do not have a roof over their head. We would urge the Prime Minister @RishiSunak and the Home Secretary @JamesCleverly to listen to their colleagues calls and drop these punitive measures. https://t.co/m2lwy74PlC

[Susan Aktemel @susanaktemel]

Annual rent increases in Scotland are higher than London, landlords selling = reducing supply, homelessness increasing inc rough sleeping in Scottish cities and @scotgov is in denial about impact of legislation. Absolutely predictable consequences.

[Homes for Good @HomesForGood]

We’ve created a very special joint venture with @crisis_uk - @GoodPlaceLet bringing our unique letting agency model to #London - help us find our superstar, to make private renting better for everyone ❤️
