This is the final step before the Bill receives Royal Assent, which we expect shortly.

We're proud funders of the Community-Led Housing (CLH) Alliance 🏘️
CLH is not just a way to build more affordable homes, but to create "thriving & resilient neighbourhoods" where those living there are empowered to shape their living environment. Thanks to @soscommhousing.bsky.social for their work!

It's Scottish Housing Day! The theme of community, which fits perfectly with launch of the Community-Led Housing Alliance.
This will provide a space where local leaders and representatives can come together, learn from each other, and work together to further the role CLH across Scotland.
