Demand for social housing in Glasgow is 'outstripping local supply'
A lack of Glasgow social housing available for homeless people is contributing to a £5m service overspend to make sure families have places to stay.
Last year there were more than 12,000 emergency accommodation places offered in Glasgow, a meeting heard. Covid funding has been used to help meet cost demands but that will end this year - leaving a “significant financial challenge” for 2023 to 2024 according to the report.Actions to address issues include more staff to accelerate people’s move from bed and breakfast to temporary furnished flats.
“When we have people in some of the bed and breakfast accommodation etc. it is a higher cost to us so if we can get people moved through the system it reduces that cost."
