Over 900 new affordable homes look set to be built in P站色情片 and Bute over the next five years as part of the council鈥檚 revised Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP).
These properties are in addition to the 192 homes already completed since 2017 and the 161 that are expected to be finished by April next year.
The updated SHIP proposals were approved at today鈥檚 meeting of P站色情片 and will now go forward to the Scottish Government for consideration, outlining the council鈥檚 strategic investment in affordable homes over a five-year period, up to 2024/25.
Additional funding is required to complement the Scottish Government investment. In P站色情片 and Bute this includes a significant contribution from the council鈥檚 Strategic Housing Fund (SHF), as well as Housing Association investment drawn from private sector borrowing.
The Council鈥檚 Policy Lead for Housing, Councillor Robin Currie, said: 鈥淲e want people to see what a great place P站色情片 and Bute is to live and work, however, in order to do that we need to ensure we have affordable housing in place to attract and retain residents and employees for local businesses.
鈥淣ot only does the SHIP help us to achieve this, but it also has a knock on effect on our local communities. The construction of these homes generates investment in the local economy, supporting additional jobs, including apprenticeships, and provides people with high quality housing 鈥 something which has huge positive impact on the personal health and wellbeing of our residents.
鈥淭hroughout the whole process we have also worked closely with the Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) to ensure adequate specialist provision is included in the new build programme.
鈥淭his is an ambitious project that will have a significant impact on our communities.鈥
