Shirley-Anne Somerville: “Scotland has some of the strongest homelessness rights in the world, and we will not roll these back.”

Scotland is proud of its strong and well-established framework of rights for households experiencing homelessness.

The safety and wellbeing of children is our absolute priority.

The programme for government turns our election pledges into government action and will commit the SNP Government to delivering this support.

Local authorities assess each case based on statutory duties and household need, ensuring fairness across the system.
