The Scottish government is being urged to provide extra resources to help meet 'severe challenges'.

The council's housing convener Jane Meagher will table a motion on Thursday highlighting a "crisis" in both the public and private sectors.

Housing Minister Paul McLennan has said "tackling homelessness is a key priority" for the government. "We know there are things beyond the council's control, we understand that both the Scottish and UK governments can and must do more, but things can't go on as they are. Business as usual isn't working and all levels of government must respond."

Mr McLennan said the Scottish government was making available £3.5bn over this parliamentary term to support delivery of 110,000 affordable homes by 2032, with 70% of those for social rent.
