CIH Scotland: Housing emergency needs political action not words

Scotland is in the grip of a housing emergency. This manifests differently across Scotland, whether that’s Edinburgh’s average private rent hitting £1,480 per month, or the fact that one in five homes on the Isle of Skye is a short term let. Communities across Scotland are feeling the impact of the undersupply of affordable homes with people struggling to cover the bills and others trapped in an under-resourced homelessness system.
