Scotland is suffering from a “chronic” housing shortage of nearly 100,000 new homes, due to “significant and consistent undersupply”.
A new report from industry body Homes for Scotland (HFS) found that over the last 14 years there has been a lack of new houses being built.
It is therefore calling for an “all-tenure” target of at least 25,000 homes per year to be built. It stated that the Scottish Government must commit to this target level for new homes each year to meet demand.
