The figures were revealed following an announcement by the Scottish Executive last week, who are planning to reform housing provision to ensure an adequate supply of affordable housing by building 35,000 extra homes per year.
The news is huge sign of encouragement for the Minister for Health and well being, Nicola Sturgeon, who is championing the new housing policy. The policy has also recently received backing from representatives of the Scottish private building Industry, Homes for Scotland.
