Councillors from the Communities, Housing and Public Protection Committee yesterday received an update on the delivery of Aberdeen City’s Affordable Housing Delivery Supply Programme and the Bi-Annual Report from the Housing Board.

Communities, housing and public protection convener, Councillor Miranda Radley, said: “ I am pleased to see 459 affordable houses being delivered through the city, in partnership with the Scottish Government and the city’s Registered Social Landlords.

“This is a huge achievement and builds on the success of the past few years delivering more affordable houses in the city.”

Vice-convener Councillor Dell Henrickson added: “The reduction in void council properties has been crucial in ensuring that more homes are made available, and by turning these empty properties into homes, we are ensuring that more residents can benefit from affordable housing.”

Through the affordable housing delivery programme, 459 homes were completed in Aberdeen over the past year, with a further 472 homes expected to be completed in 2025/26.

It was also noted that a review by the Housing Board found that in March 2025, there were 418 fewer unoccupied council properties than the previous year.

Aberdeen City Council was allocated £12.5 million in 2024/25 through the Scottish Government’s affordable housing supply programme to make these homes available to move into.
