'Our homelessness services are under the greatest pressure they’ve faced in years'
WHEN the SNP formed Glasgow’s city government in 2017, we inherited a homelessness service in crisis, failing to meet its statutory duties towards homeless people and censured by Scotland’s Housing Regulator.
Our investment in homelessness prevention work means that fewer of those approaches have actually turned in to formal homeless applications, but nonetheless the huge pressures on households are translating into equally large pressures on services. Far from the problem that some have painted it as, this is in fact a step forward in pursuing our aim of all homeless people in Glasgow being provided with settled permanent accommodation as quickly as possible.We turned around the failing homelessness services of the past by working differently and that’s what we need to do again in response to these new pressures.
Instead, when Glasgow has been short-changed by Government, we make the case for how this can be rectified.
