A Holyrood plan to tackle the homeless crisis was hampered by underfunding, a senior councillor has claimed - even as he hailed its success despite the problems of Covid and the cost of living crisis.
As the Rapid Rehousing Transition Programme (RRTP) enters its final year councillors noted that West Lothian has achieved success in tackling the numbers of homeless teenagers in the county.
And George Paul, the senior councillor responsible for housing said: “In some circumstances we have done miracles but the RRTP was never going to work because we never had the funding.”
