The number of people put up in hotels in the city has increased to more than 700 this month.
The data shows a continual increase with more and more people put up in hotels and others in temporary accommodation. Earlier this month the Glasgow Times reported how the Overnight Welcome Centre operated by Glasgow City Mission has dealt with 400 people since December who would otherwise have been sleeping rough on the streets.
Sean Clerkin, campaign co-ordinator for Scottish Tenants Organisation, asked for the data under freedom of information.There was also a rise in the number of children in temporary accommodation to the highest recorded.Mr Clerkin said: “The record number of homeless children stuck in squalid and substandard temporary accommodation in Glasgow is shameful and disgusting and yet politicians do nothing sitting on their hands.
So they’re not homeless 🤔
