Veterans Housing Scotland

Posted on January 6 2023 at 15:11

I attended the launch of Veterans Housing Scotland’s campaign to secure 25 more homes for veterans by 2025.

The campaign promotes partnerships between charities and social housing providers which will enable veterans to be nominated for social tenancies – an effective approach which I fully endorse.

2025 campaign

Midlothian Council was the first housing provider to sign up, committing to allocate two properties a year to nominated disabled veterans and their families – an encouraging start. The very talented Edinburgh Military Wives Choir provided splendid entertainment for the evening.

Encouraging to hear commitment from across the Scottish Parliament to collaborate in supporting the veteran community during today's debate. Importantly, it was also pleasing to hear recognition of the benefits that veterans and families bring to our communities across Scotland. My 2025 progress leaflet recognises notable recent achievements in the delivery of improved statutory support and services for the veteran community, while also highlighting areas where improvement is required.
