#HousingEmergency

Ahead of #WorldHomelessDay, families impacted by homelessness, @shelterscotland.bsky.social & @fifegingerbread.bsky.social met with @sa4dunfermline.bsky.social to share their experiences and deliver a route map to end child homelessness.

With 10,715 kids in temp. accommodation, we need action now.

You can’t tackle child poverty while children are denied a safe & secure home.

With another record high number of children in temp. accommodation, tackling the #HousingEmergency must be part of tackling child poverty this #ChallengePoverty Week.

125,000 households are waiting for a social home in Scotland.

🏡 We must build at least 15,693 social homes every year of this Parliament to tackle the #HousingEmergency and reduce homelessness.

Help make that happen
