110,000 affordable homes by 2032However, housing minister Paul McLennan – who retained his post in John Swinney's ministerial reshuffle – struck a defiant tone. He said: “Scotland has led the UK in housing by delivering more than 128,000 affordable homes since 2007. We are investing nearly £600 million in affordable housing this financial year, the majority of which will be for social rent. Likewise our Financial Transactions budget – key to delivering affordable housing – has been cut by 62%. “We remain focused on delivering 110,000 affordable homes by 2032 and to support that we will bring forward the review scheduled for 2026-27 to 2024, which will concentrate on deliverability.
