We have: • Increased the Affordable Housing Supply Programme budget for 25-26 to £768m, including £40m targeted towards acquisitions to support the local authorities with the most sustained temporary accommodation pressures. • In 2024-25, brought almost 1,000 homes back into use, through £40m targeted investment in acquisitions and reducing the number of empty social homes; helping reduce the number of homeless households in temporary accommodation. • Helped an estimated 2,457 households with children into affordable housing in the year to end March 2025. • Invested £46m in Charitable Bonds, supporting the delivery of around 325 homes. • Made £1m available in 2024-25 to registered social landlords and third sector partners to help sustain tenancies and prevent homelessness. • Included an additional £4m in the Ending Homelessness Together budget for 2025-26 to help local authorities, frontline services and relevant partners prepare for the new prevention measures and to help them to respond to the housing emergency by preventing homelessness before it occurs. • Announced a long-term commitment of £100m for Mid-Market Rent – and with institutional investment we will grow that fund to at least £500m to support the construction of around 2,800 mid-market rent homes. • As part of our City Deal approach, announced almost £16m of grant funding to City of Edinburgh Council to support the delivery of 847 homes in total, with 387 much-needed affordable homes. • Through the Scottish Empty Homes Partnership and network of empty homes officers we delivered real results, with 1,875 homes returned to active use in 2023-24.
