Launched in September, the campaign aims to push housing supply firmly up the political agenda in the run-up to next year’s Scottish Parliament election.

As one of Scotland’s volume homebuilders, parent group Barratt Developments said it is committed to delivering high-quality, energy-efficient homes and creating thriving communities across the country.

Barratt and David Wilson Homes Scotland recognise the significant impact that the housing emergency is having on communities – particularly young people and growing families. 

The company believes that urgent action is needed to increase housing supply across all tenures and to ensure that safe, secure homes are available for everyone in Scotland. 

The Homes Build Futures campaign highlights the stark reality facing the country. 

With 693,000 households in some form of housing need, 250,000 people on waiting lists, and a shortfall of more than 110,000 homes accumulated since 2008, the scale of the challenge cannot be ignored. 

Like many across the sector, Barratt and David Wilson Homes Scotland are deeply concerned by the number of households and children in temporary accommodation as housing starts and completions continue to decline. 

Alison Condie, regional managing director, Barratt and David Wilson Homes Scotland, said: “With our representative body, Homes for Scotland, spearheading the Homes Build Futures campaign, Barratt and David Wilson Homes Scotland fully support its call for a national all-tenure target of at least 25,000 new homes each year, alongside a planning system that enables delivery and targeted support for SME builders.

“These are vital steps if Scotland is to reverse the current downward trend in housing delivery and secure the wide-ranging social and economic benefits that come with building more homes.

“For Barratt and David Wilson Homes Scotland, this is not just about bricks and mortar. It is about creating opportunities, improving health and education outcomes, supporting jobs, and ensuring that future generations have the security of a place to call home.

“That is why the business is backing the Homes Build Futures campaign and encouraging others to get involved and add their voice.”
