SFHA Chief Executive Sally Thomas said:
“Today’s figures show that the number of social homes that were built this quarter are at the lowest level since mid-2020, during the height of the pandemic. That fact must be a wakeup call to the Scottish Government.
"Last week’s Programme for Government was described by the First Minister as ‘unashamedly antipoverty and pro-growth’. Yet when we know that delivering social homes is absolutely fundamental to both tackling poverty and economic growth, the rhetoric simply isn’t being met with action. It is now vital – more clearly than ever – that we see significant support for building Scotland’s homes now.”
