Edinburghs Housing Emergency: A Two-Year Progress Report
Two years after declaring a housing emergency, Edinburgh has made significant strides in addressing the crisis. With a focus on affordable homes, reduced temporary housing, and preventing homelessness, the city has delivered over 4,400 affordable homes, with thousands more in the pipeline. Major council projects like Powderhall, Pennywell, and Burdiehouse are underway, and funding has increased with a £1.6 billion pledge for affordable builds and a £5 million visitor levy fund. Despite still needing more Scottish Government cash, Edinburgh secured a four-year grant, including £126 million for housing associations, and is exploring innovative solutions like turning garages into bungalows and modular builds.
