Aberdeen’s housing supply has increased this year with the completion of more homes across the city.
Last week, councillors from Aberdeen City Council's Communities, Housing and Public Protection Committee noted progress made on the delivery of the city's Affordable Housing Delivery Programme.
Communities, Housing and Public Protection convener, Councillor Miranda Radley, said: “We are committed to ensuring that our housing supply continues to meet the needs of our residents and communities.
“The update on the addition of more affordable housing to our existing housing supply is great to hear and we look forward to adding to this in the future.”

Vice-convener Councillor Dell Henrickson said: “The affordable housing programme has been a great addition in what Aberdeen has to offer to individuals, families and communities and I look forward to seeing the more of these new homes being completed over the next year.”
Councillors heard that over the past year there were 806 affordable houses made ready to move into, the highest amount of homes completed through the affordable housing supply programme in Aberdeen.
Out of these, eight of the homes were made fully wheelchair accessible.
It was further noted that as of August this year, 162 affordable homes have been completed, with a further 371 homes expected to become available in 2024/25.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
