The City of Edinburgh Council, GB Rapid Rehousing Plan

Planning

The proposed plan includes a homelessness prevention pilot directing staff toward high-risk residents before they lose shelter.

If approved, Edinburgh would also expand a Rapid Access Accommodation program created during the COVID-19 outbreak.
