💬'Housing First Scotland needs to be scaled up, not scaled back. The alternative is more expensive: lives in limbo, with people cycling through homelessness, health, social care, justice systems.'

📈 Upscaling is a key theme in the new Check-up: buff.ly/3ISKMc7

Join us and Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities for the launch of the #HousingFirst fidelity framework.
