Prevent homelessness in Scotland

Join us and add your name to our call to stop more people becoming homeless in Scotland.

Join our call to prevent homelessness

Scotland has some of the strongest protections in the world for people experiencing homelessness. But while we made huge progress on reducing levels of homelessness in the past, the cost of living crisis is pushing more and more people closer to homelessness.

All too often, people at risk of homelessness in Scotland are unable to get help until it is too late, while emergency measures such as temporary accommodation have often become the default response to someone encountering problems with their housing. That’s why we are campaigning for new measures to prevent homelessness – to stop more people from experiencing the trauma and indignity of homelessness.

 

Find out more about our campaign

Why preventing homelessness is so important

More and more people in Scotland are being forced from their homes. In fact, homelessness in Scotland is now at record levels, with 10% more households facing homelessness than last year alone. We have to act now to prevent more people facing homelessness.

1 in 12

people in Scotland have experienced homelessness. That's 8% of the population.

30,724

households are experiencing homelessness. That's the most since records began.

10,000 children

in Scotland are stuck in temporary accommodation.

How homelessness can be prevented

It doesn't have to be this way.

The best way to end homelessness is to prevent it from happening in the first place. That’s why we are campaigning for changes to the law – so that people can get help up to six months before they are at risk of homelessness, and by widening responsibility for preventing homelessness across public services. By allowing public services in health, justice and beyond to play a role in preventing homelessness, we can stop people being forced to spend long periods of time in the homelessness system.

Change the law so people in housing crisis can get help up to six months before they are at risk of homelessness, rather than the current 56 days.

Introduce new duties in public services in health, justice and beyond to ask people at risk of homelessness about their housing, and act to offer support if required

Make sure local authorities and other relevant public services have the resources and support they need to move people into secure homes.

Scotland Prevention Review Group

The Scotland Homelessness Prevention Review Group was tasked to identify legal duties needed for local authorities and other public bodies to prevent homelessness in Scotland. It was set up by Crisis at the request of the Scottish Government and was chaired by Professor Suzanne Fitzpatrick of Heriot-Watt University.
