Submission Documents: By Councillor Kenny McLean:- "Council welcomes the publication of the Scottish Government's Housing Strategy 'Housing to 2040' and the commitment towards building 100,000 new homes across Scotland by 2032. Council further welcomes the 2040 Route Map being promptly implemented into action by the allocation to Glasgow City Council of a record £120m by the Scottish Government to deliver new affordable and social housing in the city in partnership with the city's registered social landlords. Council recognises the 2040 Route Map sets out a range of principles that are consistent with Glasgow City Council's Housing Strategy and Investment Plans. Council further recognises its opportunities to work with partners to prevent and reduce homelessness, improve access to all tenures, invest in delivering quality affordable homes and enhance digital connectivity. Council acknowledges that this funding - allocated through the Affordable Housing Supply Programme - will be used to fund around 850 new housing approvals and will see the completion of over 1,453 new homes in Glasgow during 2021/22. Council further acknowledges the 2021/22 allocation means that the total funding that Glasgow City Council has received for housing since 2003 is £1.298 billion, translating into 14,560 new affordable homes. Council welcomes the opportunity for City Building being able to contribute their expertise to delivering this historic investment in affordable housing. Council notes that all homes will be built to the 'Glasgow Standard' which places a focus on ensuring new housing has sufficient space, designed to achieve a high level of sustainability with minimum carbon emissions, and, creates strong and vibrant neighbourhoods with access to outdoor space. Council further notes that meeting these outcomes contributes towards improving the health and wellbeing of the city's population and tackles climate change and fuel poverty. Council instructs the Chief Executive to work with the City Urbanist to profile Glasgow as a United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Centre for Excellence and world leader in sustainable and affordable housing, in partnership with the Scottish Government and the city's registered social landlords at COP26."
