Homeless village approved for South Lanarkshire

Councillor Davie McLachlan said he was delighted with the approval and praised Social Bite’s track record with similar projects.

“The site has been designed to ensure that it will integrate with its wider surroundings, is sustainable and can provide a range of services,” he said.

Social Bite is a leading homelessness charity across the UK.

Founder Josh Littlejohn said the new development was an important step toward achieving its vision that “everyone deserves a safe and supportive place to call home”.

“It was revealed today that Scottish homelessness is at its highest in 10 years and we are proud to be part of the solution which is not just needed but completely essential,” he said.

“We have seen first-hand from our Edinburgh village the huge impact these make on those living in them and we’re excited to build on this success and help make lasting change in the fight to end homelessness in Scotland.”

The village is due to begin construction in early 2025 with plans for completion by summer that year.
