A union has warned cuts to health and social care has led to a homelessness 'crisis' in Glasgow as staff struggle to cope with the workload.
and social care has led to a homelessness 'crisis' in Glasgow as staff struggle to cope with the workload.
The union said its members were suffering"high levels of work-related stress" and that the Scottish Government had withdrawn COVID funding this year which had been allocated to alleviate pressures on temporary accommodation costs. “The increase in demand for services has not been matched with an increase in staff. Our members were already struggling with excessive levels of work, and are unable to cope with the sheer volume of numbers presenting for assistance.
UNISON said social landlords in Glasgow are unable to provide the tenancies required to meet demand, resulting in greater numbers of people remaining in homeless accommodation for longer. A spokeswoman for Glasgow’s Health and Social Care Partnership said: “The cumulative impact of the lack of housing supply, cost-of-living crisis, inflation, changes to the asylum system, and increased numbers of people coming to Glasgow in search of accommodation is creating significant pressures.
