More than £700,000 could be spent in Stirling to bring 40 council properties up to scratch to house Ukrainian refugees.
Stirling Council officials say £720,000 has been offered from the Scottish Government’s Ukraine Longer Term Resettlement Fund to bring currently void properties into use for displaced Ukrainians.
And in a report due before full council tomorrow (Thursday), officers also ask councillors to note that, while displaced Ukrainians would be considered ‘persons with specific housing and support needs’ when it comes to housing allocation, the Scottish Government funding would minimise the impact on other people seeking housing.
