Meanwhile: in 🏴
Homelessness in Glasgow has risen again months after the SNP-run council declared an “emergency” in the city - Nearly 3,000 homeless children in Glasgow as figures rise again on SNP watch - total of 7,265 people were in temporary accommodation as of April 1st, but new figures show an increase to 7,371 in June.
The statistic for children rose from 2,765 over the same period.
figures from the Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership reveal £27m has been handed to private hotels and bed and breakfasts in 2023/24 to house the homeless.
