SOME 7000 homeless people are living in temporary accommodation in Scotland's biggest city amid a housing and homelessness emergency.
Some 7266 people were in temporary accommodation in Glasgow on April 1, including 2765 children.
With 1590 homeless living in hotel or B&Bs, including 52 families with children. Nearly 250 women were staying in hotels or B&Bs where there were also men.
The average time that a family with three children stayed in temporary accommodation between January 1, 2023, and April 1, 2024, was 30 weeks.
The statistics were obtained by housing campaigner Sean Clerkin, coordinator for the Scottish Tenants Organisation.
He said the situation was a "disaster" and urged Glasgow City Council to build and renovate more homes to solve the crisis.
It comes after the Record revealed yesterday that the Scottish Government was declaring a national housing emergency ahead of a Labourled debate at Holyrood.
