That the Parliament recognises that 10 October 2020 is the 10th annual World Homeless Day, which will aim to draw attention to the needs of homeless people; welcomes the combined efforts of local government, charities and central government in working to house people without access to permanent housing during the COVID-19 pandemic; understands that a secure and suitable home is a basic human right; supports the organisations and volunteers aiming to end homelessness, and believes that the provision of genuinely affordable housing for all who need it is crucial to addressing what it sees as Scotland’s housing crisis.
