Housing Investment

Housing Investment is an essential mechanism for delivering the aims and objectives of the Local Housing Strategy.  The Council has put in place a range of structures, resources and programmes (described in these pages) to deliver these aims and objective in a co-coordinated, open, transparent and accountable way. 

In September 2003, responsibility for management of the Development Funding Programme in Glasgow transferred from the Scottish Government to the City Council.  This Programme is a key resource for delivering Local Housing Strategy Investment Priorities.

As part of the management of the Development Funding Programme, the Council has established the City Wide Investment Forum to discuss the resource allocation framework and investment issues with partners and stakeholders. 

The Scottish Government has introduced a Strategic Housing Investment Framework (SHIF) for the allocation of Development Funding resources.   Glasgow's Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP), was approved, following consultations, by the Council's Executive Committee and submitted to The Scottish Government on 30 November 2007.

An important consideration for our approach to investment is how to deliver new build projects by the most effective and efficient means.  At Procurement, we provide updates on research, the Councils developing approach and actions in the context of the Scottish Government's National Procurement Strategy.
