What next for Housing First in Scotland? I was recently invited to speak at Holyrood’s annual Homelessness Event about the important issue of scaling up Housing First in Scotland. But why Housing First? And why now? If you don’t work in Scotland you may be forgiven for not knowing that it was in Glasgow, back in 2010, that Housing First was first introduced in the UK. I’d just finished helping Sarah Johnsen at Heriot-Watt on the first review of Housing First in the UK – then a promising new intervention from the US. So, imagine my excitement when I learned that Turning Point Scotland were working on their own Housing First project. I never imagined that, ten years on, we’d be so close to introducing it on a grand scale across the country.
