A must-read report from @sfha_hq @IPPRScotland @OxfamScotland on supporting social homes and tenants through the transition, leaving no-one behind.

🌍NEW REPORT🌍@scotgov needs to accelerate the transition to clean heat urgently. Funding has to be fair for all, so that no home is left behind. @davehawkey_, in partnership with @OxfamScotland and @sfha_hq, shows how this is possible. Read here: ippr.org/articles/no-ho…

Good to be on #bbcgms talking about our @YouGov poll showing 8 in 10 people think there is a housing crisis in Scotland. With the budget debate in Parliament this afternoon we need to see the government cut to housing reversed.


Good to be on @STVNews talking about the importance of social housing in protecting against poverty. We need much more to provide the affordable, safe and warm homes so many people need.

You can view full coverage of this evening's @STVNews report on the SFHA's calls for an additional £700million for the Affordable Housing Supply Programme ahead of the Scottish Government Budget. youtube.com/watch?v=vOVZ3q…



Everyone needs a good home - especially children. We need to be building more, not less #scottishbudget @HumzaYousaf

🏡Our CEO @SallySFHA joins @povertyalliance, and others, in a call for the Scottish Government to address the £700 million funding gap in the Affordable Housing Supply Programme to protect Scotland's children from poverty. 🤝 #scottishbudget Read more: tinyurl.com/mr3knpsv

The @natfednews has signed a letter alongside homelessness charities calling on the Home Secretary to urgently reconsider plans to criminalise the use of tents by people sleeping rough. Thanks @crisis_uk for coordinating the letter, we stand by you in urging a change of approach

NEW: Suella Braverman's plan to restrict tents for rough sleepers will cause deaths, charities warn Fifteen homelessness charities, including Crisis and Centrepoint, urge Home Sec to shelve proposals More from @pmdfoster and me in FT 👇 ft.com/content/65ff8f…



More social housing, reducing poverty and achieving net zero #SGPconf - three of the most important issues we face - looking forward to hearing all views @patrickharvie @IPPRScotland @OreValleyGroup #housingscotland

Thanks @CyclingScotland for giving me the opportunity to talk about the importance of active travel to housing associations and their tenants - a vital part of a more socially just Scotland #housingscotland

A truly devastating report - while Scotland is doing better than most of the UK, all governments must do more - including more social housing #housingscotland

Destitution is when people cannot afford to meet their most basic physical needs to stay warm, dry, clean and fed. Our new report reveals a shameful rise in the number of people experiencing destitution in the UK. Here are the key findings 🧵 #DontIgnoreDestitution



Thanks panellists @CPAGScotland @GrampianHA @BenMacpherson and audience #SNP23 for a great session on reducing child poverty with more social homes #housingscotland

"Building more social homes is a vital part of what we need to turn the dial" Our @SallySFHA this week spoke to a packed #snpconference meeting alongside @CPAGScotland @BenMacpherson and Craig Stirrat of @GrampianHA about the links between child poverty and social homes.

Looking forward to chairing this session on tackling child poverty with @GrampianHA @CPAGScotland @BenMacpherson - means building many more secure, affordable, warm social homes #housingscotland

Heading to #snpconference today? Join us and @CPAGScotland to discuss what more needs to be done to tackle child poverty and deliver the homes we need. 12.30, meeting room 5. Lunch provided.



Now more than ever we need more homes - only with an affordable, safe, secure home can we be the people we are all meant to be #housingscotland

Reduced energy costs are welcome - but are still far too high for far too many. We urge the UK government to reinstate winter support and introduce a social tariff sfha.co.uk/news/news-cate…

Hear our @CarolynSfha on the value of our social homes, how we reach net zero fairly and why we have to continue vital funds for tenants through the cost-of-living crisis. 👇

New podcast episode With its latest campaign, the @sfh is aiming to put Housing at the Heart of Scotland. It looks to tell stories of the importance of social housing in Scotland and ensure social landlords are given the required support to continue this vital work.
