MSP Briefing: Scottish Budget 2022-23

This briefing outlines in detail the concerns and recommendations from Shelter Scotland regarding the importance of delivering the social homes that are required to reduce housing need, and the wider measures that are needed to not only strengthen housing rights but ensure they are upheld.

Shelter Scotland exists to defend the right to a safe home and fight the devastating impact the housing emergency has on people and society. We work in communities to understand the problem and change the system. We run national campaigns to fight for home.

This year’s Scottish Budget is an important milestone in that fight for home. As Scotland looks to move beyond the pandemic, this budget is a vital opportunity for the Scottish Government to make the right to a safe home a reality.
