Today's UK Budget was a missed opportunity to tackle the #HousingEmergency.

The bedroom tax and benefit cap remain, while Local Housing Allowance stays frozen. People need action, not more barriers to a safe, secure home.

New Scottish Government stats show an 8% drop in new homes added to Scotland’s housing stock - the lowest level in a decade.

Scotland needs to build itself out of the #HousingEmergency, with at least 15,693 social homes needed each year.

What some want to tell you: Housing isn't available to everybody because others are getting it. This isn’t true.

What they won’t say: Scotland isn't building enough homes, fast enough, or investing enough in frontline support.

Easiest way to sum up the #HousingEmergency?

🕔 A household becomes homeless every 15 minutes in Scotland.

What must happen to reduce that to 0 per day? Scotland needs to build more social homes.

Gatekeeping is when a council unlawfully denies someone the temporary accommodation they're entitled to.

There were 21,800 instances in Scotland in 2025-26 - a 32% increase vs 2024-25.

We need more social homes to tackle the #HousingEmergency

You can’t tackle child poverty while children are denied a safe & secure home.

With another record high number of children in temp. accommodation, tackling the #HousingEmergency must be part of tackling child poverty this #ChallengePoverty Week.

A record high 10,715 children trapped in emergency accommodation need your help. #HousingEmergency

We know the solution is more social homes, so help us remind the First Minister and his government.

Together, let’s fight to end child homelessness.

💔 Today, 40 more children across Scotland woke up without a home.

And tomorrow, it will be another 40.

More social homes are the only solution, but we need your help to shout about it loud enough that it can no longer be ignored. #HousingEmergency

⚠️ 10,715 children in Scotland are trapped in temporary accommodation. A record high, and more than double from a decade ago. #HousingEmergency

Behind every statistic is a child and a family waiting for a home.

Help us fight for the homes they, and Scotland, need.
