Call made for Scottish Government to prioritise housing

Three major housing bodies have joined forces to call on the Scottish Government to make housing a national priority.

The Scottish Building Federation, the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations and the Glasgow and West of Scotland Forum of Housing Associations have issued a joint statement setting out the case for greater investment in Scotland.

The three groups say the time is right to invest in affordable rented housing developed by housing associations and co-operatives to meet housing need, which is reaching crisis levels in Scotland.
