19 Dec 2023To ask the Scottish Government how many new build social housing properties in the Rutherglen constituency it has provided funding for in the last five years.
The answer
The Scottish Government publishes figures relating to delivery of affordable homes across Scotland since April 2007, on a quarterly basis, which can be found online at:
https://www.gov.scot/publications/affordable-housing-supply-programme-completions-updates/ .
The Scottish Government does not hold information at a constituency level. However, between 1 April 2019 and 30 September 2023, in South Lanarkshire, we have approved 1,077 new build social rented homes, as part of the wider 1,326 total homes approved throughout South Lanarkshire.
Across the same period, in South Lanarkshire, we delivered 1,413 new build social rented homes, as part of the wider 1,662 homes delivered throughout South Lanarkshire.
Homes provided through the Affordable Housing Supply Programme take various forms including; new build homes, rehabilitation projects, conversions and off-the-shelf purchases of both new and second hand homes, as identified in Strategic Housing Investment Plans (SHIPs) prepared annually by local authorities.
