Following the Scottish budget in December 2024, Liz Hamilton, Senior Land and Planning Manager of Scottish housebuilder AS Homes, said: “We welcome the decision in the Scottish government budget to reverse the £200m cut to housing.

To really unlock affordable housing we also need a massive shift to speed up the planning process and free up more deliverable land so we can actually deliver these homes.”

Places for People CEO Greg Reed said: “The £768m investment in affordable housing turns a new page for Scotland where a worsening crisis sees every 20th person awaiting a social home and where 10,000 children are stuck in temporary accommodation. While this funding is welcome, this is just the start. A long-term and strategic approach is the only way to truly end Scotland’s housing emergency, reduce homelessness and eradicate child poverty.”
