Proposed key actions include:working with local authorities to audit empty homes and determine those that should be brought back into use;supporting the work of the Scottish Empty Homes Partnership and continuing to roll out the approach across Scotland;giving councils the powers they need to regulate and charge owners appropriately for homes lying empty and ensuring they have the mechanisms to bring them back into productive use;creating a support package for homeowners in trouble to help them stay in their home, if that is right for them, and to prevent homes falling into disrepair or becoming empty in the first place; andestablishing a new fund for local authorities to apply to use in order to bring empty homes and potential empty homes back into residential use and convert suitable empty commercial properties in town centres.
