More than 1,000 new affordable homes were delivered across Glasgow throughout the last year.

Glasgow City Council revealed its Affordable Housing Supply Programme (AHSP) helped build over one thousand additional houses in the city over the past year.

The original £78.687million grant from the Scottish Government was boosted during the year by an additional £11.544million to focus on ‘Strategic Acquisitions’, and a further £3.825m from the Scottish Government to a final budget of £94.056million.

As part of the AHSP, 446 affordable homes were approved, 727 started work on-site, and 1,011 were completed during the year.

Meanwhile, the completion target for the year was exceeded, and the approvals and start targets were narrowly missed.

The local authority said this was largely due to a 23 per cent budget reduction at the start of the financial year, which meant that some schemes had to be delayed.

However, over 99 per cent of the homes approved will be for social rent.

Amongst the developments and phases of developments completed in 2024/2025 are the former Victoria Hospital, Calton Village Phase 1, Connal Street, Dalmarnock, Shandwick Street, Easterhouse, Water Row Phase 1, and Dundashill.

The Strategic Acquisitions programme also enabled housing associations to acquire 100 properties to be occupied by homeless families.

A further 70 void or empty properties had works undertaken on them to allow them to be let.

The AHSP also funded over 1,200 medical adaptations to housing association properties.

Councillor Ruairi Kelly, Convener for Housing and Development at Glasgow City Council, said: “‘I am pleased to say that the council has helped deliver more than 1,000 affordable homes in Glasgow in the past year.

“This has been achieved despite reduced budgets and continued construction inflation. Given that we are in a Housing Emergency, it is more important than ever that we increase the supply of new, high-quality affordable homes in the city.

“We have done this through successful partnerships working with our colleagues in the sector, most notably with the network of housing associations across Glasgow”.
