We exist to defend the right to a safe home and fight the devastating impact the housing emergency has on people and society. We do this with campaigns, advice and support – and we never give up. We believe that home is everything.
The housing emergency in Scotland has never just been about houses – it’s about people.
It’s about the family struggling to meet next month’s mortgage payment. The young family renting a rundown flat, wondering if they’ll ever be able to afford a home of their own. This is about the children living in temporary accommodation, forced to change schools every time they move. These are today's struggles.
But read about how our housing emergency has played out, decade after decade and you'll see the same kind of worries, the same void that comes with not having a place to call home. The slums might be gone now, but there's the same lack of affordable, decent homes in Scotland.
Scotland is still in a housing emergency. You can fundraise, donate, campaign, or join us to help end the housing emergency
Volunteering at Shelter Community Shop is a fantastic opportunity that can offer a range of benefits, both for you and your community. It's a great opportunity to meet new people, develop friendship, expand your social circle, - building a supportive network in a brilliant atmosphere.
