Housing groups slam SNP budget
Leading housing groups have demanded a crisis meeting with Scottish ministers over what they have slammed as a "disappointing" budget settlement.Shelter Scotland and other organisations say the cut of 6% in real terms in affordable housing will "undermine" the government's social justice objectives.
They also say the removal of local authority "ring-fenced" funds for housing is another damaging blow.
The budget has prompted four groups - Shelter Scotland, the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations, the Scottish Churches Housing Association, and Scottish Council for Single Homeless - to send the government a joint letter outlining their concerns.
