Efforts to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping in Glasgow are at risk by a lack of certainty over funding for a ground-breaking initiative.
Housing First works on the principle that rough sleepers are given keys to their own home, no strings attached
The Scottish Government said it is committed to RRTP and will be speaking to councils about future funding.It stated: “If funding beyond 2024/25 is not confirmed in the Scottish Government Budget announced in December 2023, an exit strategy will be implemented to reduce annual investment plans by £1.237m to stay within the financial envelope available from 2024/25.
“The Scottish Government is providing local authorities with £52.5 million between 2018-24 for their RRTPs to support people into settled accommodation first before helping them with their longer-term needs. We are also providing them with £30.5 million in 2023-24 for their work to prevent homelessness.
