Almost three thousand new housing association homes are in the pipeline for Glasgow in the next few years.

Dozens of projects of between 10 and 250 new homes have either been started or approved.

A list of projects 'legally committed to' in April this year show 2200 homes across 35 projects from more than 20 housing associations.

Last year house building stalled due to the coronavirus lockdown but it is expected that projects will be delivered now construction has re started.

The industry however has suffered from factors including a shortage of materials including brick and plasterboard, delays in materials arriving from abroad and self-isolation of construction squads where there has been a positive covid case.

The plans committed to across the city include hundreds for social rent, including 175 homes at Hamiltonhilll by Queens Cross housing association, 166 by Crudens at Castlemilk, 84 at Abbeycraig by Lochfield Park, 77 homes at Abercromby Street by Thenue HA and 60 at Dalmarnock Station by West of Scotland.

Councillor Kenny McLean, City Convener for Neighbourhoods, Housing and Public Realm at Glasgow City Council, said: “We welcomes the funding from the Scottish Government, which will allow us and our housing association partners to deliver our Affordable Housing Investment Programme over the next five years. 

“The £537million funding will provide much needed new affordable, energy-efficient homes for tenants, with low running costs. 

“The funding will help to meet the housing supply targets set out in Glasgow’s Housing Strategy - agreed following a comprehensive Housing Needs and Demand Assessment - and will contribute to the Scottish Government’s Housing to 2040 target of 50,000 new affordable homes across Scotland by 2026/27.
