campaigning for the transformation of Scotland's existing housing stock

Briefing – Fuel Poverty Debate 27 January 2016

In advance of the Scottish Parliament’s Fuel Poverty Debate on 27 January 2016, the Existing Homes Alliance Scotland has released a briefing highlighting concerns about the cut in funding for energy efficiency and fuel poverty in the Draft Budget 16/17, despite fuel poverty levels that remain high at 35% of households, and the Scottish Government’s commitment to making energy efficiency a National Infrastructure Priority.

About us

The Existing Homes Alliance Scotland is a coalition 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 gratefully acknowledge funding support from the William Grant Foundation.
