CHARITIES have welcomed calls for the Scottish Government to create more suitable accommodation for single homeless people but have stressed more work must be done to prevent the need for it in the first place.
A motion is set to be debated at the SNP conference this weekend which encourages the Scottish Government to explore converting suitable premises in town centres to create safe accommodation for single people and look at replicating the eco-village in Edinburgh created by Social Bite.
It comes after Government data showed 70% of households in 2020/21 were single-person, and that single-person accommodation was in limited supply in Scotland.
