The Scotland we want to see

In May next year, Scotland goes to the polls. This is a critical moment to turn the housing emergency around. We need political parties to hear a very simple message.

Build Scotland. Build hope. Build social housing.

Tell every party leader to build social housing

Scotland needs to build a minimum of 15,693 social homes every year of the next parliament to tackle homelessness.

We don't need another lost parliament which fails to tackle the worsening housing emergency.

Tell Scotland’s party leaders they must prioritise building social homes. Pressure them for urgent action to tackle this housing emergency.

It’s not about passing new laws, it’s about political will and national leadership.

Add your voice, send your message, and let’s get Scotland building again.

It's time to build

Build community — social homes build strong, stable communities where people thrive
Build fairness — without social homes, Scotland’s housing system isn’t fair — it’s rigged
Build opportunity — moving into decent housing helps people find stable work, leading to greater financial security
Build hope — when we build social housing, we build hope for the 2.3 million adults in Scotland, impacted by the housing emergency
Build the economy — social homes aren’t just good for people, they’re good for Scotland’s economy

(music) Woo-hoo!

We need to talk, love.

No faffin' about.

(hammering sound) We need to build Scotland.

We need to build social houses.

We've built them before.

It's time to do it again.

For the grandkids.

Building social homes means...

... bringing rents back within reach...

... supporting those who need it...

... and creating opportunities for us all.

These politicians say they're gonna do something.

But the time for talk is over.

Let's tell those politicians...

Forget your manifestos.

... we've got a granifesto!

Be groundbreaking.

Break ground!

Let's build Scotland.

Build social housing.

Let's do this sh****!

Delivering an end to Scotland’s housing emergency

The next Scottish Government must commit to a goal of reducing affordable housing need by the end of the next parliament. To do this, it must deliver the social homes and housing rights we need.

Our Housing Delivery Plan for Scotland details the actions that all parties need to prioritise after the 2026 Scottish election.
