Housing Strategy

What is it?

Glasgow's Housing Strategy is Glasgow City Council's primary strategic document for housing.  It sets out the housing issues and priorities for housing in the city, and provides a strategic framework for housing in all tenures.

It represents a shared understanding developed in partnership with housing interests and stakeholders in the city.
