Understanding the importance of social housing

Scottish Housing Day is now in its fifth year and Urban Union are thrilled to celebrate housing in Scotland, particularly with this year’s focus on the value of social housing.

Access to secure, safe, warm and affordable housing is vital to the wellbeing of everyone in our society. With the current Covid19 pandemic, we have been made acutely aware of the importance of social housing.

Although unlike previous years, we are unable to get together face to face for Scottish Housing Day, we will be coming together virtually.

Not only is there an impressive online line-up of speakers including the Minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning, Kevin Stewart MSP, taking place today, here at Urban Union we will be sharing via social media our views on the importance of social housing. Posts include how we are delivering outstanding new housing, building communities and supporting everyone’s right to a safe, secure and affordable place to call home.
