Join the campaign: we’re voting to end homelessness

The Scottish Parliament elections in May 2026 represent a critical moment. We need to vote to end homelessness in Scotland. 

Add your name to our call on all parties to commit to ending all forms of homelessness in Scotland by 2040. 

The Scottish Parliament elections in May 2026 represent a critical moment. We need to vote to end homelessness in Scotland. 

Scotland has strong rights in place for people who are forced into homelessness. But more people are losing their homes every week. 

Record numbers of people are sleeping on our streets. Growing numbers are trapped in temporary accommodation. The number of people experiencing different forms of homelessness is at an all-time high. 

The election in May 2026 is our chance to change this. We need every party to commit to ending all forms of homelessness in Scotland by 2040. 

That means: 

  • Building the right number of the right type of homes in the right places, so people across Scotland have a home to call their own.  
  • Giving people better support much earlier on, before they become homeless.  
  • Making sure money spent brings levels of homelessness down. 

By doing this, we can create a country where everyone has a safe and stable home. A society that’s thriving because we can all take better care of our health, relationships and work. We can end homelessness for good. 

The election is our chance to tell political parties across Scotland they need to act. Because getting your vote will depend on it.

Add your name to our call on all parties to commit to ending all forms of homelessness in Scotland by 2040.

Why 2040?

We've chosen this date because the Scottish Government has agreed a plan to deliver enough housing for everyone by 2040. This is a great step forward, but it will not in itself end homelessness.

It must be combined with urgent changes to public services so that people facing homelessness get the help they need, when they need it. This means getting access to housing and support.

That's why we need a bold, long-term commitment to end homelessness in Scotland, from all political parties. That will help us hold the next government to account, and mean the next government has a mandate to build a Scotland where everyone has a safe secure place to call home.
