Funding Cuts Halt Delivery of Over 1,800 Affordable Homes in Scotland


Funding Cuts Halt Delivery of Over 1,800 Affordable Homes in Scotland

Scotland: Funding cuts to the Affordable Housing Supply Programme (AHSP) have stalled more than 1,800 new affordable homes, according to a new report by Homes for Scotland (HFS). Data from HFS members show that around 5,000 high-quality, energy-efficient homes, including 1,826 affordable units, are affected by the nearly 26% budget reduction announced in March. HFS Chief Executive Jane Wood cited that  latest insights clearly illustrated the impact the devastating cuts to the Affordable Housing Budget have had on all-tenure housing delivery across Scotland, leaving thousands of vitally needed new homes across the country facing years of delay. The report highlighted the urgent need for government intervention to address the housing crisis exacerbated by these cuts.
