Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on how many homes have been secured for key workers as a result of the £25 million funding scheme, and how much has been spent from the fund to date.
Answer
To date, four affordable homes were approved in Orkney under the demand-led Rural Affordable Homes for Key Workers Fund with no spend drawn down to date. We are currently working with local authorities to progress a number of proposals to support the delivery of more affordable homes for key workers through the fund. We are engaging closely with local authorities and others to promote the use of the fund and to bring forward proposals where there is an identified requirement.
