How our supporters made a difference in 2024

2024 has been a huge year in our fight for housing justice. And our supporters have been at the centre of it.

Thanks to every one of our supporters, our campaigns have reached right to the top of those in power.

Together we'll push hard in 2025 to end Scotland's housing emergency and create a future where a safe home is available for everyone.

What we achieved together in another crucial year of campaigning

  • More than 10,000 people signed our open letter to the First Minister, resulting in a national housing emergency declaration

  • Thousands of our supporters emailed local councillors and MSPs, piling on the pressure for urgent action to be taken

  • Our petitions were signed over 10,000 times, with thousands joining the fight for home and adding their names to our Official Record of Rage against the housing emergency

  • Supporters sent 2,915 emails to prospective MPs running in the UK general election, urging them to prioritise housing if elected. Our asks were reflected in manifestos across the political spectrum, showing the impact when we collectively raise our voices for housing justice

  • Supporters sent 3,842 emails to MSPs ahead of December's Scottish Budget announcement, demanding a reversal to social housing budget cuts and urgent action to end the housing emergency. The Scottish Government listened. They reversed the cuts and increased investment in local services, marking huge progress in our campaign for housing justice

What we're fighting for

The current housing system is not working. Too many people do not have a permanent place to call home or are living in unaffordable or unsuitable homes.
