Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many affordable homes it estimates will be required in each local authority to meet local demand over the next decade.
Answer
Housing to 2040 is Scotland’s first ever long-term national housing strategy and makes clear our ambition to deliver 100,000 affordable homes by
2031-32, 70% of which will be for social rent.
Local authorities as the statutory housing authority are responsible for assessing housing requirements in their area and setting out their plans to meet these requirements as part of their Local Housing Strategy and Strategic Housing Investment Plan.
