The Highland Council has criticized the current funding formula for not adequately addressing the housing pressures it currently faces, arguing that the system does not reflect the region’s unique challenges in providing affordable and suitable homes. Officials claim the existing approach overlooks key factors that impact housing delivery, leaving local authorities struggling to meet demand. The council’s concerns highlight a broader debate over how public funds are distributed to support housing needs across Scotland. Critics argue that without adjustments, communities may continue to face shortages despite increased financial allocations.
Highland Council says the formula fails to take into consideration housing challenges it is facing.
