The Existing Homes Alliance | Scotland

campaigning for the transformation of Scotland's existing housing stock

We must take urgent action to transform our existing housing and make it fit for the 21st Century

The Existing Homes Alliance Scotland is a coalition of housing, environmental, fuel poverty and industry organisations calling for urgent action to transform Scotland’s existing housing stock and make it fit for the 21st century. Too many of Scotland’s homes are in a poor condition meaning unnecessarily high fuel use.

We are calling for an ambitious programme of low-carbon refurbishment of Scotland’s homes, along with incentives, support and regulations aimed at cutting greenhouse gas emissions and tackling fuel poverty. Such a programme makes environmental, social and economic sense.

We are working with all sectors to develop this programme of radical low-carbon refurbishment and explore the role each sector can play in making it a reality. Please read our declaration and show your support by joining here.
