Edinburgh City Council will vote on a motion to set up a Housing Emergency Action Plan.
Councillors are set to declare an official housing emergency today – piling pressure on Humza Yousaf to declare the same for all of Scotland.
Raised by Labour councillor Jane Meagher, it adopts the demands of the Shelter Scotland housing charity. The motion details how 5000 in Edinburgh are in temporary accommodation – the highest number in Scotland. It also pinpoints the shortage of homes, with 200 bids being made for every advertised rental property.
