Question
To ask the Scottish Government when it expects the City of Edinburgh Council to have a rapid rehousing transition plan.
Answer
The City of Edinburgh Council submitted the first iteration of its Rapid Rehousing Transition Plan to the Scottish Government in December 2018.
Scottish Government officials recently completed a review of the rapid rehousing transition plans of all 32 local authorities and individual tailored feedback has been provided to each local authority.
Officials are now working with local authorities to develop their rapid rehousing transition plans further where necessary and it is expected that all local authorities, including the City of Edinburgh, will submit a revised plan in the Spring. Given that plans are over 5 years, we expect regular review and development will take place.
