Housing Emergency

Action plan

Our Housing Emergency Action Plan sets out the actions we are taking to relieve the impact of these pressures and reduce the number of households in Edinburgh without settled accommodation.

The plan identifies 36 actions where we will work in partnership to end the housing emergency focusing on:

  • reducing homelessness
  • improving access to housing and housing advice
  • increase the supply and quality of housing across the city
  • preventing harm.
