Scotland: Fair Funding helps prevent homelessness.![]()
![]()
Preventing homelessness means investing in the organisations that support people before they reach crisis point. But too often, short-term funding makes it harder for community organisations to plan ahead, retain experienced staff, and provide the consistent support that people need.![]()

At West Granton Housing Co-operative, they know that secure, affordable housing and early intervention can make all the difference. That's why they're proud to be featured in SCVO's Fair Funding campaign, highlighting the need for long-term, sustainable funding for housing and homelessness services.![]()

Fair Funding isn't just about supporting organisations—it's about helping people stay in their homes, strengthening communities, and reducing the need for crisis interventions.![]()
