More than £3.2 billion of cash is to be shared among Scotland’s councils in a bid to help build more affordable homes.
Housing Secretary Shona Robison said the funding – which is spread over five years – would give the sector the “certainty and assurance” needed to help meet the government’s housing targets.
Ministers want to build 100,000 affordable homes across Scotland by 2032, with at least 70% of these available for social rent from either councils or housing associations.
