The homelessness prevention measures in the Housing (Scotland) Bill will make the prevention of homelessness everybody’s business and will ensure people get the help they need earlier to remain in their homes.To minimise the harm caused to children who stay in temporary accommodation for long periods, we are supporting local authorities to increase the supply of social and affordable homes of the right type and size, including larger properties suitable for families.We have provided funding of £80 million over this year and next, 80 per cent of which has been targeted to five local authorities with the most sustained temporary accommodation pressures.
