Episode Details

Edinburgh Council approves a £15.5M contract for temporary accommodation to support homeless individuals, including young people leaving care. The deal reinstates the supported lodgings program, involving 14 suppliers offering on-site support for managing tenancies. The contract spans 8 years, with approximately £1.9M spent annually. The city faces a severe homelessness crisis, with limited space and resources, leading to a £40.5M annual expenditure on temporary housing. Additionally, a £581M capital investment is planned for building more council-owned temporary accommodations over five years. The council is striving to house more people without overspending, despite the ongoing crisis.
