Countdown to 2012

More than 40,000 in Scotland become homeless every year and now over 200,000 people are on housing waiting lists across the country.

People like Claire and her young children who are still desperately waiting for a permanent house after spending a horrific time in a homeless unit.

Families like Sharon's who are forced to live in a temporary overcrowded flat, desperate for a permanent whom with enough room for them all.

What can you do?

2012 is the year by which Scotland's politicians have promised to give everyone in Scotland the right to a home. But without new homes, new rights are meaningless.

With three years to go, the countdown to 2012 has begun. Build a home for Scotland and help us convince the Scottish Government to fund more new affordable homes to rent by 2012.
