Edinburgh’s Housing Crisis Deepens | Edinburgh News
Description
Edinburgh’s homelessness crisis is spiraling out of control, now housing a quarter of Scotland’s rough sleepers — up from just 8% in 2003 — and accounting for 25% of all temporary accommodation across the country. Families with children face waits of nearly 18 months for permanent housing, fueling the city’s declared housing emergency. While national leaders like Andy Burnham promise to end rough sleeping, frontline workers in Edinburgh are desperate for urgent, targeted action — because systemic failure isn’t just a warning; it’s already here.
