Lib Dems secure funding for affordable homes

The Scottish Liberal Democrats have secured funding to build more affordable homes in communities across Scotland.

The SNP had shamefully cut the budget for affordable homes during a housing emergency, but thanks to tireless effort from the Scottish Liberal Democrats that budget will increase by 26%.

Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton said, “It was wrong of the SNP to cut funding for affordable homes in the middle of a housing crisis.

“Everyone deserves a place to call home, and that is why the Scottish Liberal Democrats have made sure that funding for affordable homes has increased by a substantial amount.

“There is much more left to do to tackle the housing emergency, but this is a step in the right direction.”
