Home is everything. Join the fight for home.
If the UK's new Prime Minister is serious about ending homelessness, then here's a thought 👇 Increase LHA, end refugee homelessness by default, scrap the bedroom tax, and invest in social housing. How about it, PM? #HousingEmergency Our full response: shelterscotland.org/UKPMAB
Think the #HousingEmergency isn’t happening where you live? Across Scotland, from the Highlands to the Borders, families are being pushed to the brink because not enough social homes are being built in the places that need them most. Now’s your chance to speak up 👇 shelterscotland.org/100DaysBS

Today on STV Good Morning Britain, our own Lisa Borthwick said tackling the affordable housing shortage must be the top priority for the new More Homes Scotland agency. It could represent a turning point in the fight against the #HousingEmergency, but only if it has clear goals and proper funding.
New research highlights how 'More Homes Scotland' could remove barriers to housing delivery and increase affordable housing supply. With the right funding, powers and focus, the agency can help deliver the homes Scotland desperately needs. Building social homes must now become a national mission.

🏠 8,000 homes promised 📉 Only 85% delivered That shortfall means more people without a safe place to call home That's why we’re calling on the Scottish Government to make building social homes a national mission of the highest importance, because ending the #HousingEmergency is a political choice
Finding a home you feel safe in shouldn't be stressful Everyone has the right to rent without discrimination, so we've made a guide that shares practical ways to find safe & welcoming flatshares, landlords & communities for people in the LGBTQ+ community #PrideMonth 🏳️🌈 shelterscotland.org/LGBTQRent
“Without Shelter I would still be homeless and struggling.” Left on a postcard at a Pride event. They told us other organisations turned them away due to their gender identity and sexuality. Everyone deserves a safe home, free from discrimination. Know your rights ✊ shelterscotland.org/LGBTQHelp
🤔 Did you know Scotland has 10,480 children without somewhere to call home? They're growing up in temporary accommodation, living with fear and uncertainty about where they will live next. #HousingEmergency Add your name if you agree these children deserve better ✍️ shelterscotland.org/ActCH
A #HousingEmergency was declared in Scotland over two years ago. Since then, homelessness has got even worse 📈 Email your MSP and ask them why so many people still don’t have a place to call home, and what they plan to do about it. shelterscotland.org/100DaysBS
We're wishing the boys the best of luck tonight against Morocco! ⚽🤞 #SCOMAR But Scotland's playing another game vs the #HousingEmergency, and we're losing. Tell our MSPs more social homes means not leaving families in Scotland on the bench. 👉 shelterscotland.org/RedCard
Our independent anti-racist review of our services, led by lived experience, is clear: ✔ Strong support from staff ⚠️ But racism still impacts housing experiences We’re taking action and sharing a toolkit so others can too, because this must be a sector-wide change 🔗 shelterscotland.org/ARReviewPR
Home is for everyone 🏳️🌈 #PrideMonth But right now, some LGBTQ+ people in Scotland are still facing discrimination when trying to access housing. That’s not right, and it's unlawful. Know your rights ✊ shelterscotland.org/LGBTQHelp
From the Borders to the Highlands. From Glasgow to Edinburgh. And everything in between. The #HousingEmergency is being felt across all of Scotland. Tell your MSP what the emergency looks like where you live. 📣 shelterscotland.org/100DaysBS

Think you know what homelessness looks like? 🤔 Many don't, because quite often it's hidden with street homelessness being just the tip of the iceberg. #HousingEmergency
A record high 10,480 children are growing up right now in temp accommodation across Scotland. If you agree child homelessness shouldn't exist, email Scotland's new MSPs about the #HousingEmergency where you live and demand they build the social homes Scotland needs. ➡️ shelterscotland.org/100DaysBS
