Response

The Scottish Government does not directly build houses. Information on the number of affordable homes delivered annually since 2014 through the Affordable Housing Supply Programme can be found at:

Housing statistics quarterly update: new housebuilding and affordable housing supply - gov.scot (www.gov.scot)

These can be found under the 'Affordable Housing Supply Programme Summary Tables - new style' and the 'Affordable Housing Supply Programme Summary Tables - old style.' Please note affordable homes provided through the Affordable Housing Supply Programme comprise homes for social rent, for mid-market rent and for low cost home ownership. These homes can take various forms including; new build homes, rehabilitation projects, conversions and off-the-shelf purchases of both new and second hand homes.
