## Resource

Glasgows ten-year plan to tackle homelessness faces skepticism as demand for temporary housing surges, with nearly ten thousand households in temporary accommodation and over two thousand five hundred in hotels and B&Bs. The strategy aims for a twenty percent reduction in need through prevention and halving the backlog for permanent housing, but critics question its feasibility. Despite a seven-year shortfall, the partnership points to a five percent reduction in homelessness applications and uses tools like WAYfinder and Housing Options Explorer to support their approach.
