MANY would contend that Glasgow has had a housing and homeless crisis for some time now.
Whatever your opinion, the strain on our homelessness services is being stretched beyond breaking point by the UK Home Office’s streamlined asylum process.
Glasgow has been a UK asylum dispersal area since April 2000 and receives Home Office funding of £3500 per person involved in the scheme. This was followed by Birmingham City Council with 2986 persons or 26 per 10,000 residents. Belfast had the second highest number of asylum seekers relative to its population – 78 per 10,000 people.
Indeed, back in May 2019, Glasgow HSCP cuts of £2.6m removed 100 temporary homeless beds from the city.
