HUMZA Yousaf has pledged an uplift of £80 million for affordable housing over two years, in his first policy announcement since ending the Bute House Agreement.now a minority Government and a motion of no confidence in him looming, the First Minister said he will increase the budget for affordable housing supply to £600 million in 2024/25.
“While there is a single person homeless in our country, it is simply not acceptable to have houses sitting empty – so I am determined that we remove the barriers and provide the money that will enable councils to buy properties so they can become affordable homes again.“This £80 million will build on the success of our national acquisition programme which I announced last year, which spent more than £60 million and delivered more than 1,000 affordable homes.
However, analysis from the Scottish Parliament Information Centre states that this amounted to a cut of £196 million in cash terms or a real terms cut of £205 million when compared to the 2023-24 Budget. Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
