Scotland’s delivering more homes per head than anywhere else in the UK.
Since 2007, we’ve delivered 136,705 affordable homes - 97,099 for councils and housing associations.
We’re focused on what matters to you: secure homes, strong communities, and a fairer Scotland.

After 14 years of austerity and Liz Truss’ disaster mini-budget, the Tories have nothing left but division and despair.
They’re playing the radical right’s game - no vision, no solutions, just scapegoating.
Scotland won’t fall for it.

Sarwar backs Starmer’s welfare cuts. Here’s what it means for you:
🔴 Thousands could lose vital support.
🔴 More people forced into poverty.
🔴 Holyrood will be left to pick up the pieces with less funding.
