Scotland could be free from the most acute forms of homelessness within three years – this is the aim of the Housing First Pathfinder, a Scottish Government backed programme that has officially ramped up from 1st April in five cities, Aberdeen/shire, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Stirling.
Social Bite co-founders Josh Littlejohn and Alice Thompson were given a Special Recognition award at the 2019 Pride of Britain Awards in London on Monday 28th October 2019.
A report released today shows that Scotland’s Housing First Pathfinder has created more than 150 tenancies.
