THE Big Issue Group has launched a campaign aimed at ensuring millions of low income people living in rented accommodation can stay in their homes.
It comes after Humza Yousaf confirmedin his Programme for Government.
Renters are facing a “barrage” of increases in the cost of food, fuel and rent, while those receiving universal credit and housing benefit are being driven into debt and homelessness, just to afford the basics, said the Big Issue. “Skyrocketing rents are forcing millions of those on the lowest incomes to forgo essentials like food and heating to keep a roof over their head. Those in the private rented sector face the added threat of unregulated no-fault evictions driving families out of their homes every day.
“We are investing in organisations to tackle the housing crisis at a local level. We have managed to do a lot but we need the Government to take action too.
