Show Notes
Glasgows housing crisis deepens as social home completions hit a record low of 235 in 2024, down from 408 in 2023 and 638 in 2022. The city lost hundreds of flats, including four tower blocks in Wyndford and two in Gorbals. Homeless numbers rise, waiting lists stretch decades, and over half of lets go to those in temporary accommodation. While social home starts ticked up to 430, overall builds across all types fell to 1530, the lowest in six years. Scotland-wide, social completions dropped to 3601 from 4835. Private builds slowed and affordable housing programs saw significant cuts. Glasgow must act fast to meet demand and prevent the crisis from worsening.
