Analysis of Social Housing Need and Delivery in Scotland's Four Largest Cities

This paper intends to better understand the gap between delivering social housing locally and national plans to meet social housing need, focussing on where that need is most acute; Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee and Aberdeen. Shelter Scotland believes that greater emphasis on local delivery is required to deliver the Scottish Government’s social housing programme. By publishing this analysis, we aim to begin a debate about the harm that happens when social housing fails to be delivered locally.
