Every 18 minutes a household becomes homeless in Scotland
We're still fighting Until there's a home for everyone
Last year more people than ever before came to us for help
50 years on, we’re still fighting until there’s a home for everyone.

137,100 households are on council waiting lists for a home – that's the same as the entire populations of Inverness and Paisley combined!
6,581 children are in temporary accommodation – that’s equivalent to 3 homeless children in every school in Scotland.
67,000 households are overcrowded – that's more than the biggest football stadium in Scotland can hold.
1 million people are living in poverty after housing costs – that's one in five people in Scotland.
That's why we're still fighting until there's a home for everyone
