The National Outcomes set out the vision, and measure progress toward, national wellbeing in Scotland.

For the first time, housing has been included as an outcome to measure Scotland's wellbeing. The #EveryoneHome collective is among those who have influenced this positive step.

5,500 households on housing waiting lists, 274 people in temp accommodation and 1000+ homeless assessments being carried out. The council is adding to calls for affordable housing budget cut to be reviewed.

🆕 'Once the dust settles, all parties must sharpen their focus on protecting proposals in the Housing Bill – not least the Ask and Act homelessness prevention measures.'

The cruel Rwanda scheme actively puts people who come here seeking safety in danger. It ruins lives. It's unworkable. It's expensive. We stand with all those fighting for a compassionate and fair system.

💔It’s a dark day for the UK

To all the men, women and children who came here in search of safety and are now terrified of what the future holds, we are so, so sorry. Please know that we are on your side.
